Dundee - St. Johnstone predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and St. Johnstone are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Dundee should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

St. Johnstone appear severely unprepared for a clash with Dundee, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 4.00 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Dundee lost their last Premiership outing Motherwell. It might have been a minimum defeat but the hosts never actually got a chance to get anything positive from this trip having fallen behind in the first 45 minutes.

The away team had the advantage of playing at home in the previous round, but their opponents Ross County were still a tough nut to crack. It took them more than half the game to get a leg up, but St. Johnstone eventually pulled through for a narrow 1:0 win.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Dundee’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

Considering the away team’s recent history, it seems they don’t play their best when they’re visitors. The previous 3 times were marked by 5 goals conceded and the negative trend will probably continue.

Dundee already have a victory over St. Johnstone on their record. It happened earlier in this running season of the Premiership, marking them as the clear favourites for the upcoming showdown.

On Saturday, both teams will have a complete roster at their disposal, thanks to a lack of injuries or suspensions.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.88 if you use the Pncl sportsbook.
