Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
St Johnstone and Aberdeen go head to head at McDiarmid Park in what is expected to be a close Premiership encounter. The Saints failed to win the previous three league matches, and, as things stand now, they are unlikely to secure a top-six finish. Malta international James Brown has recovered in time to face the Saints, while both Murray Davidson and Chris Kane are out of contention with injuries.
Meanwhile, the Dons are on a three-game winning run in the Premier League, with the team finally finding their best form. Since Aberdeen looked sharp in front of goal in a 3-0 crushing of Hearts before the international break, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. A man to watch in the away side will be Cape Verde forward Duk, who scored a brace in the last league match, while midfielder Callum Robertson misses out with a hamstring problem.
