Hibernian - St. Johnstone predictions

Hibernian are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on St. Johnstone winning, though.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact St. Johnstone are given 5.28 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

The host are coming off from an away match which could have easily gotten them a surprising victory despite the unfavourable odds (3.13). Their first-half lead ended up being a huge point however and they won’t be too disappointed heading into the Saturday clash.

St. Johnstone entered their previous Premiership bout as the underdogs but managed to maintain a quiet stalemate throughout the match. Their home supporters weren’t exactly treated with excitement, but the draw is an overall success considering the vastly unfavourable betting odds.

With 5 goals over the previous 3 matches, Hibernian attackers are nothing to be scoffed at. If the trend continues, we’ll see some rather impressive records from then by the end of the season.

The only noteworthy trend we can note for St. Johnstone is that their latest two home games ended up confirming the Under 5 Goals market. You should probably keep this in mind when choosing the most suitable bet for this fixture.

The last time these two teams met Hibernian managed to secure a solid away win, although it was rather narrow. They’re still considered the favourites in this matchup, especially now that they have the home-field advantage on their side.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

Decent offers are in short supply for this match, so our best tip is to risk an HT/FT bet and go for Draw/Home. It’s quite a bold offer to take at odds of 2.04, but the betting value makes it interesting.
