Kilmarnock vs St Johnstone Prediction: Kilmarnock continues to fight for relegation

In round 26 of the Scottish Premiership, Kilmarnock will play St Johnstone at Rugby Park. The last time these two teams faced off, St Johnstone secured a 1-0 win at home stadium. Can Kilmarnock get a revenge-like win? Below, I will preview this game and offer the best betting possibilities. 

Kilmarnock

Kilmarnock played Dundee United the previous time out and secured a win. In a 1-0 contest, Marley Watkins last 72nd-minute strike was enough to see this team end their winless run of performances. In that run, this team lost to Ross County, Celtic and Hearts, while drawing Motherwell. In their last home matches, Kilmarnock have won three of their last five matches, losing to Ross County and drawing with Motherwell. This season, Kilmarnock have played 25 matches and accumulated 28 points. In those matches, Kilmarnock have scored 28 goals and conceded 40. 

St Johnstone

St Johnstone were at home against Hamilton in their last game and secured a win. In a 1-0 encounter, Adama Sidibeh's strike in the 87th minute was all this team needed to take maximum points. However, their last league game came against St. Mirren, which they won 0-1, with Bozo Mikulic striking in the 71st minute. However, St Johnstone head into this game following a four-game winning run, picking up wins over Motherwell in consecutive fixtures. Away from home, St Johnstone have won only once, losing three and drawing one. This season, St Johnstone have accumulated 21 points from 25 matches. In those matches, they scored 28 goals and conceded 48 as they sit at the bottom of the standings. 

Expert Betting Tips

Neither side have impressed this season and their performances have not shown they can win games with ease. However, the advantage of this game goes to Kilmarnock, and I expect them to take their chances. In the meantime, the attacking performances of the two teams are also poor, and I expect a few goals at full time.
