Prediction: 1-1
Dundee FC
McDiarmid Park will host Sunday’s football game between St Johnstone and Dundee FC. The Saints are on a seven-game winless run in the Premiership, but they are surely capable of matching Dundee FC in front of home fans. Midfielder Jason Holt is banned for the hosts, while defender Sam McClelland is a major doubt and will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The Dark Blues, on the other hand, kicked off 2025 with a heart-breaking loss to Dundee United in the local derby. As St Johnstone are tough to beat at home, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing more than one point from Sunday’s encounter. Dundee FC boss Dony Docherty once again has a full squad to choose from. You should bear in mind that the two sides have shared the spoils in three of their last six meetings in the Scottish top flight.
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.
