Ross County, Recent FormWith Celtic sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Ross County won't feel totally dejected with their 2-1 away defeat by them last time out. They came away from that fixture with 25% of the possession and clocked up 2 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Celtic managed 22 attempts on goal, with 7 on target.
Manager Malky Mackay will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
With 3 defeats and just 1 win from their last 6 home league games at Global Energy Stadium, it's clear they are not having a good run of home form at the moment.
St Johnstone, Recent FormSt Johnstone had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 1-1 draw against Motherwell. In that game they had 50% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Motherwell who had 12 attempts and 3 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Callum Davidson will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 6 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
With 3 matches lost and only 2 wins in their last 6 away matches lately, this has not been a great spell for the team away from home.
Nicky Clark will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for St Johnstone.
