Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
St Johnstone
Match Time & Date:
28/12/2022
20:45
Prediction: 1-1
Hearts
Following an expecting 4-1 loss to Celtic, St Johnstone will look to return to winning ways in the Premiership when they face Hearts on Wednesday evening. The Saints aim to stay in the Championship Group places, but the bookies see them as underdogs in the midweek clash. Teenage defender Alex Mitchell is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming from the bench against the Hoops, while all Booth, Davidson, and Kane remain in the recovery room.
Meanwhile, the Jam Tarts have been involved some high-scoring games of late, with the team beating Kilmarnock 3-1, while playing a 2-2 draw with Dundee United at the weekend. Given St. Johnstone’s attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. As for the away side, both Stephen Kingsley and Craig Halkett are likely to miss the match after the duo limped off with injuries against the Terrors.
