Ross County vs St. Johnstone – Free Betting Tips & Predictions

St. Johnstone could climb up to fifth position in the Premiership table with a victory over relegation candidates Ross County on Saturday. Read our top predictions for this weekend’s fixture below.

St. Johnstone Draw no Bet

St. Johnstone didn’t want the mid-season break to come after they collected an impressive 11 points from 15 in the lead-up to the campaign’s month-long pause, though the Saints will be determined to pick up where they left off at struggling Ross County on Saturday. County have dropped points in six out of eight home assignments this term and it makes sense to oppose them here. For an added safety net, back St. Johnstone in the draw no bet stakes, however.

Both Teams to Score

Ross County are generally good for a goal at the Global Energy Stadium and having rattled the net in six out of eight home games in the Premiership this term, they can notch again on Saturday. St. Johnstone have registered in five of their last six away games however, and bettors should consider backing both teams to score with those noteworthy records in mind.

Over 2.5 Goals

St. Johnstone have adopted an open style of play on the road this term and alongside securing some excellent results on their travels, entertainment levels in their games have been high. Indeed, over 2.5 goals has landed in 88% of their Premiership away contests since the summer and a stake in the same direction appeals at the odds on offer on Saturday.
