St. Johnstone - Hearts predictions

St. Johnstone managing to pull off a victory here would be quite the upset. They are definitely underdogs, so even the home-field advantage isn’t able to push the odds lower than 4.00 for a home win.

Most bookies see Hearts as the favourites in this matchup, though it’s important to know things can go either way. Their victory is currently priced at 2.01, indicating that the hosts have a fighting chance.

Their previous Premiership match will have been a big boost to St. Johnstone’s morale. Playing at the difficult match and emerging with a Ross County HF/FT win promises hosts will be extremely confident heading into the Wednesday match.

Hearts’s performance in the previous round was quite a feat. They snagged a 2:3 away win after spending the first half on the back foot, which was made even more difficult by the difficult match-up against Dundee.

We’re not very likely to see a lot of excitement in a matchup like this, but you never know. To illustrate, St. Johnstone recorded two consecutive away games with less than 2 goals overall.

You may want to look at Hearts as good candidates for markets like BTTS bets or Over 5 Goals. They have more than 5 goals on record from their previous 3 games alone.

Hearts already won a match against St. Johnstone this season while playing a home game. Even though they won’t have home-field advantage this time, they’re still considered favourites. After all, their previous victory was quite decisive and ended with a considerable lead.

An exciting match is in store as both teams have their full lineups available due to no suspensions or injuries.

While it’s risky as far as betting predictions go, a Draw/Away bet in the Half Time/Full Time market is the best place to find betting value in this match. Simply put, the 3.54 odds outweigh the relatively small implied probability.
