St. Mirren vs St Johnstone Prediction: Bet on the home team to win

In round 25 of the Scottish Premiership, St. Mirren will play St. Johnstone at Paisley 2021 Stadium. The two teams are coming off consecutive victories and will have high hopes here. Which side keeps things running? Below, I preview this game and offer betting opportunities.

St. Mirren

St. Mirren are coming off a win over Aberdeen in an encounter that ended 0-3. In that encounter, Toyosi Olusanya put this team in the lead before Mikael Mandron's brace before the final whistle. However, that win was St. Mirren’s second win after enduring a four-game losing run. This team has lost their last two home matches, coming against Dundee FC and Dundee United. This season, St. Mirren has 30 points from 24 league matches. In those matches, St. Mirren scored 30 goals and conceded 38 as they sit 7th in the standings.

St Johnstone

St Johnstone's last league game was against Motherwell, and they secured a 2-1 win. In that encounter, St. Johnstone came from behind to secure maximum points, thanks to Taylor Steven and Bozo Mikulic's strikes in the last minutes of the game. Heading into this game, St. Johnstone have two consecutive victories after enduring a winless run of nine matches. This season, St Johnstone have only 18 points from 24 matches. In those matches, St. Johnstone scored 27 goals and conceded 48 as they sit at the bottom of the standings.
