On Sunday evening, St. Johnstone host Hibernian at McDiarmid Park in the SPL, as the visitors look to continue their bright start to the new campaign in the Scottish top-flight.
St. Johnstone have made an unconvincing start to the new SPL season, having won just one of their four league matches so far, while taking four points from the same amount of SPL outings.
Last time out, the Saints suffered a 2-1 home defeat against Aberdeen. The defeat means that they have lost two of their last three league outings in the Scottish top-flight. It also means the home side has yet to keep a clean sheet this season in the SPL.
St. Johnstone have an inconsistent recent home record in the SPL, although a record of just three wins from their previous 13 league matches at McDiarmid Park is not exactly a great one.
The Saints have kept just one clean sheet in their previous eight home games in the Scottish top-flight.
Hibernian have made a bright start to the new SPL campaign, as they have taken ten points from their opening four league matches while remaining unbeaten. A 0-0 home draw against Motherwell last time out ended a three-game winning run for Jack Ross’ team.
The visitors good early season form is in contrast to the end of last season when they failed to win any of their last three league outings before the curtailment of the league.
Hibs have a decent recent away record in the SPL. The team from the Scottish capital have won three of their last four games dating back to last season. Their recent away matches in the SPL have been high-scoring affairs, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous five matches on their travels.

Forebet predicts that these two teams will cancel each other out and this match will end in a low-scoring draw.
