On Wednesday night, St. Johnstone host St. Mirren at McDiarmid Park, as the home side look to end a terrible recent run of form.
St. Johnstone are currently ninth-place in the Scottish top-flight, after failing to win in eight league matches. To make matters worse the home side has lost seven of those eight winless games too.
A 3-0 defeat at Livingston last time out in the SPL means that St. Johnstone have conceded at least two goals in seven of their last eight matches in the Scottish top-flight. They have also failed to score in five of those eight winless matches.
A big factor in St Johnstone’s recent poor run of form in the league is their home form, as the home side has won just one of their last six matches on home soil while suffering five defeats in the process.
Conceding goals has been at the crux of their poor recent home form, as they have conceded at least two goals in five of their last six home league outings.
St. Mirren are enduring a nightmare campaign. The visitors are currently bottom of the SPL table, having picked up just 17 points from their 29 league matches this season.
Oran Kearney’s side has won just once in their last ten SPL games, suffering seven defeats in the process. Last time out, the visitors suffered a 1-0 home defeat against Kilmarnock, which was their third straight SPL match that had under 2.5 goals.
St. Mirren have won just one of their last 15 away matches in the SPL. However, they have managed to pick up draws from visits to Aberdeen and Hearts in their last two away matches in the Scottish top-flight.
Both teams are in poor form. However, Forebet predicts that the home side will get back to winning ways by recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
