What is our St Johnstone vs Dundee United prediction?
Our prediction for this match: St Johnstone 2 - 1 Dundee United
St Johnstone vs Dundee United Preview
St. Johnstone will aim to maintain their momentum when they take on Dundee United at McDiarmid Park on Saturday afternoon after securing a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Aberdeen. The Saints made the most of their opportunities, registering 1.25 expected goals from just six attempts, and will hope to carry that clinical edge into this encounter. Zach Mitchell remains sidelined through injury, but Bozo Mikulic should be available after overcoming a long-term issue. St. Johnstone have been more convincing on home soil, averaging 1.60 points per game in their recent home fixtures.
Dundee United travel to Perth full of confidence after recording consecutive victories over St. Mirren and Hibernian, scoring three goals before edging the latter 1-0. The Terrors appear to be finding their rhythm, although Mehdi Merghem is unavailable and Emmanuel Agyei remains a major doubt. Their away matches have tended to be more open, with the visitors scoring 1.80 goals per game on the road in the supplied statistics, suggesting they can trouble the Saints' defence.
As St Johnstone are a real force to be reckoned with at home, our main prediction leans toward Home Win, alongside Over 1.5 goals (59% H2H) and St Johnstone DNB.
