Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
St Johnstone and Dundee square off against each other at McDiarmid Park in what is expected to be a close Premiership encounter. The Saints aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Celtic, but Saturday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Austria international Sven Sprangler should be fit for the Dundee game despite limping off with injury at Celtic Park, while all Cameron MacPherson, Ross Sinclair, Drey Wright, and Alistair Crawford continue to miss out with injuries.
The Terrors, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Aberdeen, but beating St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park is easier said than accomplished. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. All Jordan McGhee, Ryan Howley, and Diego Pineda are sidelined with injuries for the visiting 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.
