Ross County - St. Johnstone 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 St. Johnstone are still on the table.

At 3.54 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive St. Johnstone are well aware of it themselves.

Apoint is never as interesting as a punter would want it to be but Ross County will surely have been pleased with a Livingston draw from the previous trip in the Premiership. They return home for the Saturday clash feeling good about themselves after going level throughout both terms.

Most online bookmakers saw the 1:1 score at the end of St. Johnstone’s previous league match coming. The odds for their home victory were set around 3.33, so the home-field advantage mostly served to even the playing field. Right on cue, neither team managed to definitively pull ahead throughout the game’s runtime.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Ross County have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

With 3 consecutive draws, a bit of a trend seems to be emerging for St. Johnstone. Thankfully, they still have a chance to offer a more decisive performance this time around.

Looking at the previous time these squads clashed in this season, it’s no surprise that Ross County are the favourites. They managed to grab a narrow win playing as visitors, and it’s quite reasonable to expect them to do the same as the hosts.

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.

There’s nothing quite worse than losing a wager to a surprise draw, which is a distinct possibility in this matchup. Nonetheless, our solution is to simply go for a Draw No Bet market for a Home Win – an excellent chance of success, plus decent value with the odds set at 1.
