Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
St Johnstone
Match Time & Date:
02/04/2022
16:00
Prediction: 1-2
Livingston
McDiarmid Park will host Saturday’s football game between St. Johnstone and Livingston. The Saints aim to build on a 2-1 win over Motherwell which saw them put an end to their three-game winless run. St. Johnstone regained a much-needed confidence before the international break, but, as things stand now, they will find it hard to secure a top-six finish.
A man to watch in the home team will be Callum Hendry, who scored a brace in the last league match, while all Craig Bryson, Chris Kane, and David Wotherspoon should miss out with injuries. The Lions, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Celtic and Hearts. Since Livingston are determined to stay in the Championship Group berth, we are tempted to put our money on the visiting side. Both Bruce Anderson and Daniel Barden are injured, but there are no suspended players in the away team.
