St. Johnstone - Ross County predictions

While the scales seem somewhat tipped in the hosts’ favour, the win is anyone’s to take. Statistically speaking, all 3 outcomes to this match are quite possible, making reliable betting predictions hard to come by.

The task ahead is well-known to the visiting team. Defeating St. Johnstone on their own field would be a major accomplishment, and doing so is always challenging.

St. Johnstone supporters cannot be disappointed with their team’s last match. St. Johnstone were brave enough to go hard from the off and grab an early lead that pushed their confidence through the roof at the half-time break. Nevertheless, their rivals regrouped in the second term and levelled the score for a Livingston draw.

The previous round of the Premiership saw Ross County lose a home game against Motherwell to a 1:5 goal difference. The 3.39 betting odds implied it should have been a close call, but they were behind throughout the bout.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and St. Johnstone 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.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Premiership engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

St. Johnstone already won against Ross County this season, although it was a rather narrow victory. They’ll have the home-field advantage this time, though, which puts them in the position of favourites.

This Wednesday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 2.20, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
