Saturday’s League Cup fixture list features St Johnstone up against East Fife.
All St Johnstone v East Fife game predictions, stats and user poll are shown below (plus the best game odds).
St Johnstone will be hoping to return to winning ways here after a 1-0 League Cup defeat in their last game at the hands of Inverness C.T.
Alfie Stewart (16') scored for Inverness C.T.
A common characteristic of recent St Johnstone games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.
Taking their previous sextet of matches before this one, in 6 of them a wager on "Both Teams to Score" would've lost.
East Fife will go into the clash following a 3-1 League Cup win with the defeat of Linlithgow Rose in their previous outing.
For East Fife, the goals were scored by Nathan Austin (57', 67') and Pat Slattery (83'). James Berry (3') was the scorer for Linlithgow Rose.
Over the course of 5 of the prior six games involving East Fife, a notably low volume of goals have been scored between them and their opponents. The overall average number of goals per game within that period comes out as a mere 2, with the number of goals averaged by The Fife equalling 1.17. We shall soon find out if that trend will be continued on here.
Checking on their past head to head results going back to 14/09/1996 tells us that these encounters have been a source of anguish for East Fife. They’ve not managed to get any victories at all while St Johnstone have managed to find a way, winning in 67 per cent of those ties.
There were also plenty of goals scored in those games, 23 overall at an average of 3.83 goals per match.
Owing to an otherwise full-strength group, there is just the lone fitness problem for the East Fife manager Dick Campbell to contend with. 1 (East Fife) misses out for this game.
We envisage that St Johnstone should convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.
At the same time, East Fife could well struggle to get a goal of their own although we do reckon that they could well end up converting at least once here.
We’re predicting a fairly comfortable 3-1 winning score for St Johnstone at the end of this one.
Checking the latest betting odds for this match in the 90 min. result market, putting your money on St Johnstone is available for 1.18, going for a drawn result is 7 and betting on the winner to be East Fife is 11. They’re the top prices that can be secured at the moment.
