St. Johnstone and Ross County have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Premiership.
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
Three Premiership home games done for St. Johnstone, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches.
In their previous game, the manager C. Davidson led his St. Johnstone to a defeat in the Premiership match away at Motherwell. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at McDiarmid Park. Before that, St. Johnstone had a home game versus St. Mirren which ended with a victory 1-0.
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 3 games. Johnstone are not conceding a lot of goals here at McDiarmid Park in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
Ross County form and stats
Things could have gone better for Ross County in their Premiership away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
County have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 200 minutes ago. N. Sheron (own goal) was the goal scorer.
Ross County might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Celtic proved too strong as Ross County slumped to a 0-5 defeat in front of their own fans at Global Energy Stadium. A 0-1 defeat away at Livingston before that.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Celtic was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two Johnstone victories, six draws and two Ross County wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
