St Johnstone

LLDLLW

St Johnstone will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following the 1-0 Scottish Cup triumph over Motherwell.

The only scorer from St Johnstone was Makenzie Kirk (9').

It has not been often in recent times that St Johnstone haven’t conceded. In fact, St Johnstone have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 13 goals in the process. With no two games being the same, we will just have to wait and see whether such a trend might persist in this next game.

Their past results show that St Johnstone:

• have left without a victory over Motherwell in their previous 2 league games.
• are without a home win in the past 5 matches in the league. Their fans aren't happy.

🤜🤛 Head to head

If we look at their past head to head meetings going back to 09/12/2023, both clubs have shared the honours with St Johnstone winning 2 of those games, Motherwell 2 and 2 being draws in normal time.

14 goals were scored between them throughout the course of those matches, with 7 of them for The Saints and 7 coming from The Steelmen. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.33.

🗞️ Team News: St Johnstone

In our view, The Saints look set to use the 3-4-2-1 formation with Andrew Fisher, Aaron Essel, Jack Sanders, Bozo Mikulic, Fran Franczak, Maksym Kucheryavyi, Sven Sprangler, Drey Wright, Nicky Clark, Benjamin Kimpioka and Makenzie Kirk.

🗞️ Team News: Motherwell

Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell has some current player fitness concerns. Ross Callachan (Hamstring injury), Steve Seddon (unknown injury) and Zach Robinson (Achilles tendon rupture) are those who can’t be considered.

We believe The Steelmen appear most likely to make use of a 3-4-2-1 system with a starting lineup of Archie Mair, Kofi Balmer, Shane Blaney, Paul McGinn, Stephen O'Donnell, Andrew Halliday, Tom Sparrow, Ewan Wilson, Tawanda Maswanhise, Kai Andrews and Tony Watt.
