St Johnstone
Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 1-1
Livingston
St Johnstone will look to make amends for back-to-back losses to Rangers and Hibernian when they take on Livingston on Matchday 7. The Saints seem to be struggling in front of goal, with the team failing to find the net in four of their last five league matches and they surely face a tough challenge against the Lions. Ukraine midfielder Maksym Kuchriavyi is pushing for a start, while all Diallang Jaiyesimi, Alistair Crawford, Callum Booth, and Nicky Clark are out of contention with injuries.
Livingston, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 3-0 loss to reigning champions Celtic, with the team extending their winless run to three games. Even though Cristian Montano is the only absentee in the away team, we do not believe that the Lions are capable of grabbing more than one point from Saturday’s clash as St Johnstone are desperate to get back on course. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in five of their last six meetings in the Scottish top flight.
