St Johnstone

WWLDLD ⚖

St Johnstone go into this fixture following a 1-1 Premiership drawn game against Livingston.

In that match, St Johnstone managed 53% possession and 8 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. The scorer for St Johnstone was Glenn Middleton (76'). Livingston got 11 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Jack Fitzwater (90') was the scorer for Livingston.

It has been seldom in recent times where St Johnstone have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that St Johnstone have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 11 goals on the way. That pattern might not follow through into this match, of course.

Going into this one, St Johnstone have not emerged victorious against Aberdeen in their last 2 matches in the league.

Aberdeen

WDLLWD ⚖

In their last game, Aberdeen drew 1-1 in the Premiership tie with Hibernian.

In that match, Aberdeen had 47% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. The scorer for Aberdeen was David Bates (55'). Hibernian had 17 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. Paul McGinn (83') scored for Hibernian.

The stats tell the story, and Aberdeen have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 7 goals in all. Defensively, Aberdeen can certainly do much better.

Pre-game facts show that Aberdeen:

• haven't been beaten by St Johnstone in away games against them for the last 10 matches in the league. An amazing record against them.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 2 away league matches.
• have not won away from home in their last 9 matches in the league. It's not a good run at all.
