St Johnstone vs Dundee Predictions

• Both teams have scored in only four of St Johnstone’s last 15 games
• Dundee have only scored six times in 11 away fixtures
• The Saints have only scored in three of their last 11 outings

St Johnstone in desperate trouble

It is fair to say neither of these teams are in any kind of form, but St Johnstone’s poor run has certainly been more lengthy, largely down to their awful showing in front of goal.

Callum Davidson’s side are on a run of nine defeats in ten games – and even the other match, which ended 0-0, saw them lose in extra-time to minnows Kelty Hearts in the Scottish FA Cup.

They have only scored nine goals at McDiarmid Park, but three of them came in this fixture earlier in the season, when they won 3-1.

Dundee in deep trouble too

Defeat here will send Dundee bottom of the table, as they sit just two points above St Johnstone courtesy of a run of six consecutive league defeats.

James McPake’s side perhaps showed some signs of a revival in the cup at the weekend when they beat Dumbarton 1-0, but they have lost six in a row in the league and have the worst away record in the SPL.

Indeed, they have failed to score in three of their last five on the road, with their only victory coming at lowly St Mirren, who they beat 1-0.

This is an incredibly tough game to call, but history suggests both team will not score, so that is my initial pick, and I think St Johnstone could nick it, selecting 1-0 as a correct score.
