St Johnstone, Recent FormA 1-1 draw against Hibernian will be viewed as a positive outcome for St Johnstone and a valuable point into the bargain. Their share of possession in that meeting was 55%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target, in contrast to Hibernian, who had 6 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Having scored just 2 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Steven MacLean where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table, although he will still have one eye on his defence which have shipped 10 in the same period. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they've conceded a goal in each of their the last 10 home games.
A home win for St Johnstone is just a distant memory, having not won at McDiarmid Park in 9 games.
Dundee United, Recent FormDundee United will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-0 winners in their home fixture against Livingston. They came away from that fixture with a 43% share of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Livingston, who managed 8 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win. Winning away from home has been a bit of a problem for them this season having only managed to win 2 of their 16 league games on the road.
On an individual basis, Jamie McGrath has scored in each of Dundee United's last league game.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was St Johnstone that came out on top with a 1-2 win.
The Tangerines will be looking to extend their current run of 5 clean sheets at McDiarmid Park when they visit St Johnstone. St Johnstone have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 3 league meetings with The Tangerines.
In the league, Dundee Utd has had a solid run on the road against St Johnstone, being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings at McDiarmid Park.
St Johnstone player Stevie May will be looking to get on the scoresheet again against Dundee Utd, having scored 3 goals in the last 5 league meetings between the teams.
With only Murray Davidson (Ankle) and Chris Kane (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Steven MacLean will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Dundee Utd manager Jim Goodwin with Glenn Middleton (Hamstring), Peter Pawlett (Hamstring) and Liam Smith (Ankle) all unavailable for selection, and Dylan Levitt (Knee) out for the rest of the season.
