Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
St Johnstone
Match Time & Date:
25/02/2023
16:00
Prediction: 2-1
St Mirren
McDiarmid Park will host Saturday’s football game between St Johnstone and St. Mirren, the two teams who defeated Dundee United and Ross County respectively at the weekend. The hosts aim to move closer to top six, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for Callum Davidson’s troops. Both Murray Davidson and Chris Kane are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team. Andrew Considine is back from suspension.
The Saints, on the other hand, produce much better showings at home than on the travels. Since St. Mirren have already suffered eight defeats on the road this term, we are tempted to put our money on St Johnstone this time out. The away team’s recovery room includes the likes of Scott Tanser, Alex Greive, Jonah Ayunga, and Richard Tait, but there are no suspended players ahead of the trip to Perth.
Highlighted Player (Joe Shaughnessy):
After spending his youth career at Mervue United and Salthill Devon, Joe Shaughnessy signed his first professional deal with Aberdeen in June 2009. Shaughnessy made 53 appearances for the club in the Scottish Premier League before joining St. Johnstone in 2015.
In October 2017 the Irish defender was named the club’s captain as he replaced Steven Anderson in the role. Joe Shaughnessy, who played for the likes of Forfar Athletic and Falkirk on loan in the past, left St. Johnstone at the end of the 2018/2019 season, signing a one-year deal with Southend United.
The Irish footballer made his League One debut in a 1-0 loss to Coventry City in the opening match of the season. His main position is centre-back, but he is used as a right-back as well. His contract with Southend United should expire on June 30, 2020. Joe Shaughnessy’s preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (St Mirren):
St Mirren are Scottish football club that compete in the Scotland Premier League. Founded in 1877, the Buddies play home games at St Mirren Park. The venue, which was built in 2009, can hold up to 8,000 spectators.
St Mirren are well known for their white and black home kit, while black and violet are the dominant colours of their away kit. The Scottish club played their first match against Johnstone Britannia on October 6, 1877, winning the game by one goal to nil. St Mirren have a bitter rivalry with Greenock Morton, and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two clubs.
The Buddies recorded their biggest win on January 30, 1960, with the team crushing Glasgow University 15-0 in the Scottish Cup. David McCrae is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart with 221 league goals. St Mirren have won the Scotland Premiership three times (1925/26, 1958/59, 1986/87).
