St Johnstone vs Aberdeen tips and predictions

Hosts expecting frustration

Aberdeen are coming into this one expecting to win. You could do a lot worse than take the odds available for them. This preview describes some key stats in order to make the best value prediction, which is the away win. They might not run riot over the home side but they can come through this one.

There's nothing inevitable about this fixture but the hosts could still be frustrated by some of their recent displays. St Johnstone are causing pause for thought having lost 7 of their last 16 games at home. Another thing is that goals are looking noticeable by their absence. They've been goalless in 9 of their last 19 matches on their own paddock which is far from exceptional.

If the away team hits their straps they can get the win. Aberdeen have got the win from 5 of their last 7 matches. The majority of their good results have been secured by their attitude in the final third. They've scored two or more goals in 6 of their last 7 games. Even if their starting eleven isn't their best line-up, they could still have enough quality in depth for this one. Their recent defensive displays could be a key for them too. They have kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 8 matches.

Looking beyond the 1X2, the Both Teams To Score No is the recommendation but it comes with a pretty low rating.
