Recent respective form guides

St. Johnstone's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Saints have conceded a disappointing 8 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Clyde's away form is none too clever either, unbeaten in the last six, but with four of them resulting in draws. The games have constituted a decent return of 8 goals for the Bully Wee, and 10 goals against.

St. Johnstone are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 41 points from 31 matches. Clyde are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 55 points from 31 games.
