St Johnstone, Recent FormThe St Johnstone squad will be looking to reset their fortunes after their heavy 4-0 away defeat at the hands of St Mirren. They came away from that fixture with 54% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, St Mirren managed 9 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
Having scored just 3 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. Hoever, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 11 in the same period. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at home.
A win for St Johnstone is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 9 games.
Kilmarnock, Recent FormKilmarnock head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-0 home win against Aberdeen in their last league encounter. In that game they recorded 49 % of the possession, with 19 attempts on goal, 8 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 5 shots on goal.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 11, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Kilmarnock will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Kilmarnock, Kyle Vassell will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
It was one to forget for Kilmarnock last time they met St Johnstone in the league, falling to a 0-1 defeat.
St Johnstone have managed to keep a clean sheet against Killie in each of their previous 2 meetings at McDiarmid Park. St Johnstone will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 8 encounters with Killie.
Playing at home, St Johnstone have won the last 3 and are unbeaten in the last 3 times they have faced Kilmarnock in the league.
St Johnstone manager Steven MacLean has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Callum Booth (Unknown), Ali Crawford (Calf) and Drey Wright (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes ahead of this clash, with Kyle Magennis (Hamstring) missing out, which gives McInnes a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
