💭 Prediction

We’re thinking that St Johnstone would be disappointed if they were not to breach the defence of this Hibernian side, although that might not quite be enough to avoid defeat.

Our selection here is for a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 victory for Hibernian at the end of the 90 minutes.
