Livi to take the points
St Johnstone have been by far the worst team in the Premiership this season; they are on a 12 match winless streak, with 10 wins and two draws. On the other hand, Livingston have been playing well recently; they’ve won three of their last four games in all competitions. It’s worth noting that St Johnstone have won just two of 10 road games this season; they’ve lost six of the 10 games they’ve played away from home. Livingston won the reverse fixture by a comfortable 3-0 score line; and on that note, we believe they’ll beat St Johnstone at home.
Someone will fail to score
St Johnstone have struggled in front of goal; they’ve failed to score in their last three, and eight of their last 10 games. It’s fair to point out that St Johnstone’s goals in that stretch came at home; they have not scored a single goal in their last six road games in all competitions. At least one side has blanked in eight of St Johnstone’s last 10 games. Also, St Johnstone have scored just one goal in their last three meetings with Livingston; at least one side failed to score in those three encounters. Similarly, Livingston’s games have mostly been one-sided when it comes to scoring goals; one side failed to score in seven of their last 10 games. With this in mind, one of these teams should keep a clean sheet.
Don’t bank on goals
St Johnstone have been the lowest-scoring team in the Premiership this season; they’ve scored just 11 goals in 22 league games. It’s even more interesting that nine of those 11 goals were at home; St Johnstone have scored just two goals in 10 road games this season. Due to their lack of goals, St Johnstone’s games have mostly been low-scoring; seven of their last nine games went under 2.5. In like manner, Livingston have had their fair share of low-scoring games; as eight of their last 10 games went below the 2.5 goal line. For these reasons, we believe that this will be a low-scoring affair.
