St. Johnstone - Livingston predictions

The home team are slightly stronger as far as most online bookies are concerned, but the difference is by no means insurmountable. Both a stalemate and a victory for Livingston are still on the table.

The visiting team understands the difficulty of the task that lies ahead. A win against St. Johnstone on their own field would be a major feat, and it is always a tough endeavor.

St. Johnstone are here after one of the biggest upsets of the Premiership season. They went into the match against Aberdeen as clear underdogs in an away game but were already leading before the first half was over. The final result was a decisive 0:2 victory – something that no-one could have predicted.

Livingston started the previous Premiership match against Motherwell as clear underdogs, despite the home-field advantage. As such, the 1:3 score at the end wasn’t much of a surprise, even though Livingston were ahead at half-time.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Premiership outings.

St. Johnstone and Livingston already played against each other this season, but the match ended in a draw. Most online bookmakers see a home win as the most likely outcome this time, though, especially considering the favourites will be playing on home turf this time.

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.

Our prediction would be a fairly safe Home Win bet at the odds of 2.45. It’s obvious the hosts have a clear advantage going into this clash, and there’s plenty of reasons to feel confident in their success.
