Recent respective form guides
Hibernian's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Hibees have scored 4, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
St. Johnstone's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Saints, and 10 goals against.

St. Johnstone lie just outside the playoff positions in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, picking up 32 from their 22 games so far.
