Celtic are hoping to win again after their last result, a 4-2 Scottish Cup success versus Livingston.

In that match, Celtic had 75% possession and 27 attempts on goal with 10 on target. For Celtic, goals were scored by Daizen Maeda (7', 22', 86') and Kyogo Furuhashi (95'). On the other side, Livingston had 4 shots at goal with 3 on target. Daniel Mackay (12') and Tete Yengi (54') scored for Livingston.

Itโ€™s been seldom in recent games where Celtic have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that Celtic have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 7 goals in the process.

Their previous form shows that Celtic:

  • have not been beaten in the league by St Johnstone in their last 24 matches. What a record.
  • have not been beaten in their last 5 league matches at home.

In their last game, St Johnstone drew 1-1 in the Premiership match with Livingston.

In that match, St Johnstone had 60% possession and 10 shots at goal with 3 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for St Johnstone was Nicky Clark (87'). On the other side, Livingston got 8 shots at goal with 4 on target. Andrew Shinnie (37') scored for Livingston.

The forward players for St Johnstone have been starved of goals in their past 6 clashes, contributing the poor return of only 4. In those matches, The Saints have also seen the collective goal tally of opposing teams equal 9. Letโ€™s find out whether or not that trend will be continued on here.

Coming into this fixture, St Johnstone have not beaten Celtic when they've played them away from home in the last 14 matches in the league. A truly shameful run of away results.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ Head to head

Checking on their past head to head meetings going back to 09/04/2022 tells us that these fixtures have been disappointments for St Johnstone. Theyโ€™ve not been able to come away with any wins at all whereas Celtic have maintained the edge over them, running out winners in 83% of those match-ups.

Those games werenโ€™t short on goals, either, with 24 in all which averages out at 4 goals per meeting.

The last league game featuring these sides was Premiership match day 15 on 03/12/2023 and the score finished St Johnstone 1-3 Celtic.

In that game, St Johnstone had 30% possession and 5 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Their only player on the scoresheet was Diallang Jaiyesimi (40').

At the other end, Celtic got 25 attempts at goal with 7 on target. Callum McGregor (67'), Matt O'Riley (79') and James Forrest (93') scored.

The referee was Don Robertson.

๐Ÿ“‹ Team News: Celtic

Itโ€™s a low absenteeism rate, with just the lone fitness concern for the Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Adam Montgomery (Hamstring injury) wonโ€™t play.

We are thinking that The Bhoys could opt for a 4-3-3 formation for this game featuring Joe Hart, Alistair Johnston, C. Carter-Vickers, Gustaf Lagerbielke, Greg Taylor, Matt O'Riley, Paulo Bernardo, Tomoki Iwata, Daizen Maeda, Adam Idah and Kyogo Furuhashi.

โ„น๏ธ Team News: St Johnstone

With a completely healthy squad available for selection, the St Johnstone manager Craig Levein does not have any fitness concerns at all before this clash.

Itโ€™s our belief that The Saints might utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup by sending out Dimitar Mitov, David Keltjens, Ryan McGowan, Liam Gordon, Luke Robinson, Sven Sprangler, Daniel Phillips, Matt Smith, Nicky Clark, Diallang Jaiyesimi and Benjamin Kimpioka.

๐Ÿ’ก Prediction

St Johnstone will be up against it to be putting goals past a Celtic outfit who appear set to win well here.

Our selection here is for a 3-0 victory for Celtic when all is said and done.
