St. Johnstone prepare to entertain St. Mirren at McDiarmid Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Saints are clearly on top, having won 25 and lost only 10 of the 49 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at McDiarmid Park was less than a year ago, in April 2010, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides
St. Johnstone's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Saints's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.
St. Mirren's away form is none too clever either, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While the Buddies have hit 7 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.
St. Johnstone find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 4 games have yielded only 1 points. St. Mirren are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 4 points from 4 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from St. Johnstone at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Saints will at least gain a draw. Score draw
