St. Johnstone hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 10 points and a 9th position in the Premiership table. Visiting Dundee United holds 6th place with 12 pts.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
St. Johnstone form and stats
St. Johnstone, who have the fewest scored goals (1) at home in Premiership, have collected 3 points from their Premiership home games so far after 1-0-4. We have seen two home losses in a row now for St. Johnstone, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
St. Johnstone are returning here after visiting Hamilton Academical in a Premiership game and winning with a 5-3 scoreline. Craig Conway (2), Stevie May (2) and David Wotherspoon scored the goal(s). Before that, Johnstone had a League Cup home game versus Brechin City which ended with a victory 7-0.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Johnstone handle that role? We have found eight games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are five wins, two draws and one defeat.
St. Johnstone has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 5 games. 5 goals have been conceded.
Dundee United form and stats
The visitors, who have the the worst goal difference (-6) away in Premiership, are W2-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Premiership.
Dundee delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Aberdeen (placed 4th) in their previous match; a Premiership game. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Kelty Hearts in the League Cup.
Benjamin Siegrist had red hot gloves after the game against Aberdeen, shaping the outcome of the game with six saves made.
We have checked recent matches where Dundee United have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were two victories, one draw and one defeat.
The visitors have scored 4 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Dundee manager M. Mellon has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Dundee United - Johnstone 1-1. Last ten meetings between the teams: Johnstone won six, Dundee United won two and two draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, seven matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
