St. Johnstone - Kilmarnock predictions

The 3.85 odds on a home win result mark the hosts as clear underdogs. Things are fairly lopsided, in fact, so backing such an outcome would be quite a longshot.

Kilmarnock will have to maintain the high level of focus against St. Johnstone. They can’t afford any mistakes and errors if they plan to run away home with three points in the bag.

In a major upset at Hibernian , St. Johnstone went home with a solid away victory (1:2) in the last round. The top online bookmakers priced their victory at 6.73. As such, the final 1:2 caught everyone by surprise, especially after the lukewarm first half.

Although they don’t always make it look easy, Kilmarnock tend to deliver results in the end. Their previous showdown against Ross County saw them secure a narrow 1:0 home win after a rocky first half.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

We’ve seen some impressive offensive performances from Kilmarnock in the past few weeks. Their latest 3 league outings were marked by more than 5 goals scored, which means this match is likely to confirm markets like BTTS and Over 5 Goals.

Kilmarnock lost their home game to St. Johnstone earlier in the season, which was quite an upset at the time. They’re still considered the favourites in this matchup, though, and will be looking to redeem themselves.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.10, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
