St Johnstone vs Celtic tips and predictions

Visitors just too short to back

It has been popular to write off St Johnstone but the price of the visiting team is simply too short to get involved with.

St Johnstone will desperately be looking for any flaws in Celtic's recent results. The losses have gradually been mounting up for this away squad over their last 5 fixtures. They've lost 3 times during these 5 starts. That doesn't look like the recent record of a side that is such a massive favourite.

St Johnstone are going to have to produce a level of football most people don't think they have in them. While not necessarily enough to change the destiny of the match, the hosts have posted some decent numbers. The hosts are making the most of a recent run of form. They scored two or more goals in 8 of their recent 15 matches while they've not been caught sleeping. They've conceded only 3 goals in their last 10 games at home.

Celtic can be hit when they lose their shape. They've conceded at least once in all of their last 5 matches. Sometimes the stats don't tell the full picture though so be careful when considering this match-up; they've had enough time to make some amends in the midfield. They are the odds-on favourites after all.

In their last apperance Celtic were beaten 3-1 by RB Leipzig.

It's possible the game ends with at least one clean sheet because of the vehement favouritism for Celtic. If it plays out as many expect the No BTTS could be a good shout.
