Recent respective form guides
Aberdeen's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Dons have scored 4, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
St. Johnstone's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 13 goals for the Saints, and 11 goals against.
Aberdeen see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 11 points from their 10 games played so far, St. Johnstone are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 9 points from 10 matches.
