St Johnstone vs Ayr – Free Betting Tips, Odds & Predictions

These are our St Johnstone vs Ayr predictions and tips:

St Johnstone to Emerge Victorious

To be fair, Ayr have enjoyed some fine form lately; they are currently on a five-match unbeaten run, with four wins and a draw. However, while Lee Bullen’s men ply their trade in the Scottish Championship, they’ll be facing a Premiership side on the road. Interestingly, these teams squared off against each other two times in the past, and St Johnstone won both meetings. On that note, our first St Johnstone vs Ayr prediction is a victory for the hosts.

One Team to Blank

It may interest you to know that both teams have been involved in a lot of one-sided matches in goal-scoring terms. On one hand, Ayr kept three clean sheets in their last five matches, and both teams managed to score in just two of their last seven games. On the other hand, at least one team blanked in four of St Johnstone’s last five matches. Taking everything into account, we shouldn’t expect goals at both ends.

Less Than Three Goals

Finally, let’s take a look at the over/under goals market. Given that these teams don’t score or concede goals regularly, it’s no surprise that we’re taking the under option for today’s game. It’s worth mentioning that both teams have seen more than their fair share of low-scoring matches lately. 11 of St Johnstone’s last 14 matches featured less than three goals, all of Ayr’s last five games too. That said, this will likely be a low-scoring affair.
