Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Scottish Premiership match.
A fixture in Perth featuring the teams with the second and third worst records for goals conceded, who also rank among the lowest in goals scored, with both averaging just over one goal per game.
St. Johnstone
The statistics are accurate, yet recent matches indicate the teams can score. We begin with the home side. St. Johnstone lost their previous match at home to Heart of Midlothian (1:2) but generated sufficient chances, recording 2.02 xG from seven shots. In their last win in Round 25, they scored from six shots and 0.51 xG. Over the past six matches, over 2.5 goals occurred on five occasions.
Ross County
Over the weekend, Ross County secured a 3:1 victory against Dundee, creating 3.88 xG. They took 22 shots, with 10 on target. This was their second win with three goals, following a 3:0 victory over Motherwell. In that match, they achieved 1.16 xG from 13 shots, with eight on target.
St. Johnstone vs Ross County Prediction
Despite each team having scored 30 league goals, we expect another high-scoring match with at least three goals. A clean-sheet victory for either side appears unlikely.
