Aberdeen - St. Johnstone predictions

It’s easy to point out Aberdeen as the clear favourites, but we wouldn’t call this match completely one-sided. The hosts are definitely more likely to win between the two, but a tie game is another possibility. An away win would be quite a surprise, but we’ve seen bigger upsets.

With a price of 5.09 on an away win among most online sportsbooks, it’s clear St. Johnstone will likely not fare well against Aberdeen. Even a draw seems to be too optimistic for the away team.

Aberdeen are coming on the back of a narrow 1:0 home win against Motherwell in the previous round of the Premiership. While their victory was by no means spectacular and secured thanks to a 1-goal advantage in the second half, it was still reassuring to the fans ar Pittodrie Stadium.

St. Johnstone are coming off from a crushing 1:3 defeat at their previous away game. The match was a largely one-sided affair. Top online bookmakers heavily favoured Hibernian, who took the lead in the first half and went on to take home 3 points towards the Premiership title.

Aberdeen’s form feels especially strong in the defensive department. They haven’t conceded a single goal in their last three Premiership outings.

St. Johnstone’s defence seems to be their most prominent weakness at the moment. Having allowed 6 goals in their previous 3 games, it might be a good time to look at Over 3.5 Goals betting markets when it comes to their next match.

Although the 1.73 betting odds for a home win show that Aberdeen are the favourites, their track record against St. Johnstone this season is not great. They lost an earlier bout, though it was a rather narrow defeat.

This Saturday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

If you’re feeling confident, a Draw/Home wager in the Half Time/Full Time market is the way to go. It’s a fairly risky move, but likely the best way to get some value out of the match this Saturday.
