St. Mirren - St. Johnstone predictions

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.80 is a solid option. That said, St. Johnstone may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact St. Johnstone are given 5.62 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

St. Mirren missed out on locking down 3 points in their previous Premiership matchup, which they played as visitors. Predictions for the game were fairly hopeful, but they found themselves trailing behind their opponents Livingston at halftime. They never managed to recover, either.

St. Johnstone played against Rangers last round, so it’s hard to be surprised by the harsh 0:3 home loss. The 1.29 betting odds are a good indication of just how one-sided such a matchup is.

The attacking players for the home side left a solid impression by scoring 5 times over their latest 3 away games. The added home-field advantage they’ll have this time around makes them even more dangerous.

St. Johnstone’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 6 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

According to the recent head-to-head records, St. Mirren already has a win over the away team recorded earlier in the season. It was a narrow victory, but a victory nonetheless, justifying the 1.80 odds on a home win.

Saturday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.53.
