Prediction: 1-0
Dundee United
McDiarmid Park will host a Boxing Day clash between St Johnstone and Dundee United, the two teams sitting in the opposite halves of the table. The Saints are eager to move away from the rock bottom and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against the Terrors. Experienced forward Graham Carey should sneak into the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in a 2-1 loss to Hearts, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Dundee United, on the other hand, have a chance to overtake Motherwell in fourth place in the standings, but seeing that the relegation-threatened hosts want this win more than the visitors, we are tempted to bet on Simo Valakari’s troops. In their last meeting at McDiarmid Park St Johnstone defeated Dundee United 1-0, with Liam Gordon scoring the only goal of the match. Craig Sibbald, who missed a goalless draw with Celtic with injury, remains in Dundee Utd’s recovery room.
