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 24 and lost only 8 of the 43 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at McDiarmid Park was less than a year ago, in May 2005, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Division One match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its not been a very profitable last few weeks for St. Johnstone, and I'm afraid the Footymad team cannot see it getting too much better here. Look no further than honours being even at the end of this one. Score draw
