Prediction: 1-1
Dundee United
St Johnstone and Dundee United go head to head at McDiarmid Park in what is expected to be a close Premiership encounter. The Saints aim to build on a 2-1 win over Livingston, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. All Wotherspoon, O’Halloran, and Bryson should miss out with injuries, while John Mahon is pushing for a start. The Terrors, on the other hand, aim to climb to the Championship group berth.
Considering that Dundee United will go for a win in Saturday’s clash as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Both Fotheringham and Mulgrew are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away side. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in six of the previous seven meetings between the two sides.
