Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Buoyed by a morale-boosting win over Aberdeen, St Johnstone will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Livingston in the Premiership round 29. The Saints aim to put an end to their four-game losing run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Lions. Barring any fresh injury worries, Craig Levein is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Dons on Wednesday evening.
The Lions, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in back-to-back defeats to Ross County (2-3) and Motherwell (1-3), which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on the home side. Goalkeeper Shamal George limped off with injury against the Well, with fellow shot-stopper Michael McGovern likely to replace him in the starting eleven.
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.
