Prediction: 2-1
St Mirren
St Johnstone will aim to build on home advantage as they welcome St Mirren to McDiarmid Park in Premiership round 17. The hosts have experienced a mixed run of form, but their display in recent 1-1 draw with Aberdeen is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Saturday's clash. Talented forward Makenzie Kirk remains a major doubt after sustaining an injury in that game, while Raymond, MacPherson, McClelland, and Ikpeazu are all sidelined.
St Mirren, meanwhile, head into the match on the back of consecutive disappointing losses to Dundee United and Motherwell. Their attacking fluency has been lacking, and they will need a significant improvement to challenge St Johnstone. To make matters worse, defender Alexandros Gogic is banned for the away team, further weakening their backline. Given the visitors' recent struggles and the hosts’ determination to climb the table, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday's clash.
