St. Johnstone prepare to entertain Brechin City at McDiarmid Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Saints are clearly on top, having won 9 and lost only 3 of the 16 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at McDiarmid Park was two seasons ago, in January 2004, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Scottish Division One 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 goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 9 to 8.
Brechin City's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The The City's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 7 goals for and 5 against.
St. Johnstone's 12 points from 8 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position. Brechin City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 3 points from 8 matches.
