Another interesting game in the Premiership. Rangers is in the 2nd position after playing two matches. They welcome St. Johnstone who are placed 7th after one games.
Rangers have less rest than St. Johnstone in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Premiership game only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus St. Mirren, was also a home game here at Ibrox Stadium. The away team is better rested.
Rangers form and stats
The hosts won their first Premiership game here at Ibrox Stadium, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Rangers last season were 11 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses from 14 games.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Rangers, as their goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin has completely shut out the opponents for 304 minutes in the Premiership.
The Rangers supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host St. Mirren in Premiership and win 3-0. Heartbreak before that as Rangers lost 0-1 at Bayer Leverkusen's place.
There will be little rest for Rangers after this match as they are travelling to Livingston for a Premiership game in only four days.
Early season league goal statistics from Rangers's 1 home game: 3 goals, 0 conceded.
St. Johnstone form and stats
The visitors settled for one point in their first Premiership away game of the season. During their previous season 13 away games resulted in 3 wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Dundee United (placed 5th) in their previous outing. The Premiership match ended in a draw 1-1. Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Livingston.
The home team is given a winning chance of about 80 percent by the betting public. This does not leave much hope for the visitors, but some teams enjoy the outsider role and perform well in it. Looking at similar away games for Johnstone we find two games. Results are zero St. Johnstone wins, zero draws and two defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Johnstone manager C. Davidson as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Kilmarnock.
It's early days yet, but St. Johnstone has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Let's have a look at how St. Johnstone performed last season in the Premiership: They landed a 7th position in the league table after playing out 8 victories, 12 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 28 and conceded 46 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 6 and lost 4 with 9/20 goals scored/conceded.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's seven Rangers victories, two draws and one St. Johnstone win. Over/under statistics; nine of these games ended with three goals or more, one match with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
