St. Johnstone - Dundee predictions

The visitors are well aware of the challenge ahead of them. To defeat St. Johnstone on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy undertaking.

Dundee are regarded as favourites, but that doesn’t mean they can relax. With an almost negligible difference in the perceived strength of these two teams, sub-standard play is a recipe for disaster.

When we talk about St. Johnstone’s previous Premiership result, it’s fair to say hosts can be pretty happy to have avoided a heavier defeat. They were the 6.18 underdogs last time out and a narrow Hearts HT/FT loss is not something to scoff at.

Dundee failed to snag a decisive victory in the previous round’s home game against Ross County despite the favourable betting odds and home-field advantage. Records show that the two teams were largely neck-to-neck throughout the showdown, which ended in a rather disappointing 1:1.

The last 3 times we saw St. Johnstone play as the away team, they had serious issues stopping the ball from getting into their net, conceding more than 5 times. Hopefully, they’ll have better luck at home.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Premiership engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

Despite their position as favourites, Dundee already lost this matchup earlier in the season. This bit of information shines a new light on the 2.31 odds which most bookies are offering for their victory.

The absence of injuries or suspensions means both teams will have their full lineups at their disposal for a thrilling matchup.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1 at 1xbet.
