Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
McDiarmid Park will host Wednesday’s Premiership game between St Johnstone and Ross County, the two relegation-threatened teams. The Saints are desperate to put an end to their four-game losing run and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field. Both Ross Sinclair and Sven Sprangler remain in the recovery room, but they should be the only absentees in the home team.
The Staggies, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-1 home loss to Motherwell, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. All Max Sheaf, Scott Allardice, Dylan Smith, and Ross Callachan are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team, while all White, Sims, and Ayina are pushing for a start as head coach Don Cowie is expected to shuffle his pack following the under-par display against the Well.
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.
