Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Saturday’s football game at McDiarmid Park pits together St Johnstone and Hibernian. The Saints do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team losing three of their last four league matches and, as a result, they are seen as underdogs in Saturday’s encounter. The likes of Diallang Jaiyesimi, Sven Sprangler, Ross Sinclair, and Drey Wright are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
The Hibs, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form in the national championship, with the team losing to both Rangers and St Johnstone, while sharing the spoils with Motherwell. The Saints are hungry for revenge and given St Johnstone’s under-par performance in a 2-0 loss to Kilmarnock, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting side. All Luke Amos, Owen Bevan, and Jake Doyle-Hayes miss out 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.
