Rangers vs St Johnstone Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Rangers have 3 clean sheets in their last five games
• Rangers kept a clean sheet against Saturday’s opponents just last week
• St. Johnstone have lost six games in a row in all competitions

Rampant Rangers

As St Johnstone face a visit to Ibrox this weekend, it is worth remembering what happened between these sides just last week. Rangers coasted to a 1-0 win away from home in the 4th round of the Scottish Cup, limiting their opponents to just one shot on target all game. With Gers without a loss since November, another routine result is to be expected here.

A correct score prediction of 2-0 Rangers looks a good bet, as the comfort of playing at home should add even more confidence to a strong Gers side.

Fortress Ibrox

Rangers have not lost when playing at home this season, and have only conceded an average of 0.64 per game while scoring an average of 2.73. This ridiculously strong home form puts them in an excellent position to cruise to an easy win again on Saturday.

With St. Johnstone averaging just 1.18 goals per game, below the league average of 1.47, a prediction for Rangers to win to nil looks to be almost certain as these two sides clash this weekend.

The first goal changes everything

When St. Johnstone have conceded first this season, they’ve only managed to score an equaliser on five occasions. Given Ranger’s rate of scoring first in 60% of their games, this could be damning for The Saints. If they were to score first, however, St. Johnstone have an impressive rate of defending their lead in 64% of these games – putting them in a strong position. The first goal in this game will be decisive.
