St Johnstone vs Hearts Prediction & Betting Tips (2 November)

Before playing next match, St Johnstone had been on a dreadful run of form on their own patch, drawing three and losing six of their previous nine top-flight fixtures, so a visit from Hearts is hardly ideal. Speaking of the defending champions, although they have not been the force of old recently, they have still triumphed four times in seven Premiership trips.

Over the course of their last 12 Premiership matches, St Johnstone have been involved in nine contests containing under 3.5 goals, including each of the most recent four. It has been a similar story as far as Hearts are concerned, with 17 of their previous 19 games at this level delivering no more than three goals, so expect something similar in this encounter.

The net has bulged at both ends in six of the previous nine St Johnstone home matches in Premiership, and only one match have prevented the team in blue and white from scoring in their last ten games on their own patch. For their part, St Johnstone have both scored and conceded during the same 91 minutes in nine of their last 14 away fixtures at this level.
