- St. Johnstone has the fewest scored goals (5) at home in Premiership
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Johnstone and Aberdeen.
St. Johnstone form and stats
With 3 Premiership wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, St. Johnstone, who have the fewest scored goals (5) at home in Premiership, are certainly not brimming with confidence.
The St. Johnstone supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Hibernian in League Cup and win 3-0. Previous to that game, a Premiership home match hosting St. Mirren in a game that was won 1-0.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Johnstone as they are travelling to their away game against Dundee in the Scottish Cup. That match is two days after this one.
The lack of attacking qualities in St. Johnstone means that they have only scored 5 goals in 12 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Johnstone have only conceded 11 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Aberdeen form and stats
4 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Aberdeen playing as the away team in the Premiership this season.
Impressive finishing from Andy Considine and Tommie Hoban secured the home win 2-0 against Motherwell in their previous game. A 1-4 defeat away at Ross County before that.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Premiership trip to Livingston.
