Prediction: 1-2
Kilmarnock
St Johnstone will look to put an end to their three-game losing run when they take on Kilmarnock on Matchday 35. The Saints have suffered a dip in form, with the team continuously struggling at the back and, as a result, they have slim survival chances. Elliot Watt is pushing for a rare start after scoring as a substitute in a 3-2 loss to Motherwell, while both Sam McClelland and Bozo Mikulic are sidelined with injuries.
The Killie, on the other hand, are safe for now, with the team sitting in 9th place, three points clear of the relegation zone. Given Kilmarnock’s fine performance in a 2-0 win over Ross County, we believe that there is a big value in betting on St Johnstone. Thomas Wilson-Brown remains in the recovery room, but the 20-year-old should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Team (Kilmarnock):
Founded on January 5, 1869, Kilmarnock are the oldest professional club in Scotland. The Killie welcome their opponents at Rugby Park, the stadium with the artificial turf. The venue, which was opened back in August 1899, can hold up to 17,889 people.
Kilmarnock won their first and only Scotland Premier League trophy in the 1964/65 season despite being level on points with Hearts at the end of the season. Fellow Ayrshire club Ayr United are considered the Killie’s bitterest rivals. The two teams have been facing each other in the Ayrshire derby since September 1910.
Dark blue is the dominant colour of the club’s home kit, while Kilmarnock footballers wear yellow and blues kit when playing on the travels. The Killie recorded their biggest win back in 1896, with the team beating Saltcoats Victoria 13-2 in the second round of the Scottish Qualifying Cup. The club suffered their biggest defeat in August 1938 as they were hammered by Celtic 9-1 in the Scottish League Division.
