Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Hibernian, St Johnstone will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Kilmarnock on Matchday 33. The Saints did well to put an end to their three-game winless run, but they are still seen as underdogs in Saturday’s clash. To make things even worse for the home side, both Kucheriavyi and McGowan are banned for the match due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
The Killie, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of producing much better displays at home than on the travels. As Kilmarnock failed to win the previous six away games in the Scottish top flight, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Both Brad Lyons and Kyle Magennis are sidelined with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Team (St Johnstone):
Founded back in 1884, St. Johnstone are Scottish football club that welcome their rivals at McDiarmid Park. The venue, which was opened in August 1989, can hold up to 10,696 spectators. Blue and white are the dominant colours of St Johnstone’s home kit, whereas they wear yellow shirts and white shorts when playing on the road.
The club’s biggest success came in the 2013/2014 season when they defeated Dundee United 2-0 in the Scottish Cup final. Steven Anderson and Steven MacLean scored for the Saints in the match played at Celtic Park, Glasgow. Dundee and Dundee United are the club’s traditional rivals, with the teams facing in the Tayside derbies.
The likes of John Brogan, Joe Carr, Willie Coburn, Roddy Grant, and Henry Hall are the first five members of St Johnston “Hall of Fame.” The Saints recorded their biggest win against Tulloch (13-0) in September 1887, with the team suffering their heaviest defeat to Montrose (11-1) in April 1893.
