APWin Prediction

Double Chance: Draw or St. Johnstone

APWin experts have analysed the main betting markets and selected high-value bets.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

Defensive solidity should prove to be a major factor in this matchup. Both teams' backlines are rock solid, so scoring chances will be hard to come by.

As such, there is decent value to be had in betting 'no' on the Both Teams to Score market.

👉 Our prediction is: St. Johnstone win or draw

Even though St. Johnstone will be the away side in this matchup, we do not expect them to go down in defeat. We recommend betting on St. Johnstone to win or draw in the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw will win the bet.

St. Johnstone does have its share of flaws, but St. Mirren has also looked quite vulnerable of late, and not even being at home might be enough for them to avoid dropping points to St. Johnstone.
