St. Johnstone form and stats
St. Johnstone's struggle is real here at McDiarmid Park with only 6 points collected from 11 Premiership games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-7. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in eleven attempts.
In the game before, an away victory in the Premiership match versus Hearts with a 0-2 scoreline. A 0-2 draw away in the Premiership before that, with Hearts the opponent. A Premiership defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Hearts.This is expected to be a close game, with St. Johnstone perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with St. Johnstone as a small favourite), we find eight games. St. Johnstone has won three of these, drawn two and lost three.
The manager Davidson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Aberdeen in only three days.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for St. Johnstone here at McDiarmid Park in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (9 from 11 games). St. Johnstone have conceded 17 from these games.
Dundee form and stats
Dundee have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Premiership, after 1-1-9 (11 played).
Before that one, a nice away victory 0-2 at Livingston. A 0-2 draw at Livingston's stadium before that. Prior to that match, the Dundee manager McPake faced defeat when travelling to Livingston and losing 0-2.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Dundee playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were two Dundee wins, zero draws and five defeats.
A new game in only three days for Dundee, the Premiership home match versus St. Mirren. Busy days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Dundee as they have only managed to score 6 times from 11 away games in the league. The Dundee manager McPake has some worries about the defense as 23 goals have been conceded in these travels.
