Recent respective form guides
St. Johnstone have only performed averagely at home, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last six. A total of 12 goals have been scored by the Saints in those games, with 6 conceded.
The away form of St. Mirren is pretty dire, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While the Buddies have hit 4 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.
St. Johnstone see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 41 points from their 33 games played so far, St. Mirren are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 28 points from 33 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
