Season ticket holders at McDiarmid Park haven’t seen too many victories this season, with St. Johnstone languishing in the 9th position so far. The guesting St. Mirren will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- St. Johnstone has the most dropped points from leading position (12) in Premiership
- St. Mirren has the fewest matches over the total-line (4) in Premiership
Johnstone have less rest than St. Mirren in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Premiership game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Dundee United, so at least St. Johnstone are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
St. Johnstone form and stats
With 2 Premiership wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, St. Johnstone, who have the fewest scored goals (4) at home in Premiership, are certainly not brimming with confidence. All in all it has been a very rough period for St. Johnstone who hasn’t won a league-game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against Kilmarnock, 70 days ago.
St. Johnstone travelled for their previous game, a trip to Dundee United that ended 2-2. Before that, Johnstone played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Ross County.
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 nine games. St. Johnstone has won five of these, drawn one and lost three.
The lack of attacking qualities in Johnstone means that they have only scored 4 goals in 11 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Johnstone have conceded 11 in these home matches.
St. Mirren form and stats
As the visiting team in Premiership matches, St. Mirren have produced an overall stat of 4-1-5 so far.
There were no winners in Mirren's previous match, a Premiership home game that ended 1-1 vs Motherwell (placed 10th). Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Kilmarnock.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Mirren playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were one St. Mirren win, two draws and zero defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Mirren as they have only managed to score 8 times from 10 away games in the league. 10 goals have been conceded by Mirren in these games.
