From their prior six clashes before this one, in as many as 6 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would've been a loser.

• haven't been beaten in the league by St Johnstone in their last 5 games.

St Johnstone

LDLLLD ⚠

In their last fixture, St Johnstone drew 0-0 in the Premiership tie with Hamilton Academical.

The stats don’t lie, and St Johnstone have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 11 goals in total. In defence, The Saints could really do with shoring things up. That sort of trend might not be sustained into this next game, though.

Their prior results show that St Johnstone:

• have not emerged victorious against Ross County when they have played them away from home in the previous 3 matches in the league.
• are undefeated by Ross County when having played them away from home in the previous 7 league matches. A solid away record against them.
• have not won away from home in their last 4 league matches.
