St Johnstone, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by Aberdeen will have left the St Johnstone squad feeling a little deflated. They achieved 44% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Aberdeen's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
Supremo Callum Davidson will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 6 goals they've managed to net. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at McDiarmid Park recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. Having shipped at least a single goal in 18 of their 21 league matches this season, they don't have an enviable defensive record this campaign.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
Livingston, Recent FormHaving secured a 2-0 away win against Ross County in their latest league match, Livingston will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. In that game they had 44% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Ross County who had 10 attempts and 2 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 9 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
With 6 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Bruce Anderson has given the travelling Livingston support something to shout about on the road.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 1-0 win for Livingston.
The Saints have struggled for goals when Livingston comes to visit McDiarmid Park, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing away from home, Livingston have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against St Johnstone.
With only Murray Davidson (Ankle) and Chris Kane (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Callum Davidson will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only Jamie Brandon (Groin) and Tom Parkes (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, David Martindale will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
