St Johnstone vs Aberdeen tips and predictions

Aberdeen facing Premiership defeat?

It could simply come down to who wants it more. There's a bunch of people making noises about Aberdeen but there's data to suggest they'll fall short.

Make of it what you will but St Johnstone might have reasons to be confident about adding to Aberdeen's latest reverses. The visitors come into the match with 8 losses from their last 10 away campaigns. They've been facing different opposition but that doesn't sound like the record of a winning team.

The hosts have enjoyed some superb passages of play. St Johnstone scored at least once in 5 of their recent 6 matches and they've conceded no more than once in 16 of their last 20 home games.

Away from home Aberdeen have conceded an average of 3.4 goals in their last 5 matches. Chances on goal have been conspicuous by their absence too. At times, the visitors have been stuttering in front of goal. They've been goalless in 4 of their last 5 away matches.

The clash does have an anything could happen feel about it though. So don't rule out the match ending in parity. It would be odd to suggest that the favourites are a lock here. Don't be surprised if the two sides cancel each other out in a battle of attrition. It isn't a strong view so maybe give it a miss but the No BTTS bet is fair enough. And taking a look at the goal line, it's Over 3.5 Goals that stands out here considering the prices available.
