Best Tip: St. Johnstone to win

A Championship win on home turf for Simo Valakari's St. Johnstone team win in the win / draw / win market is our prediction. Statistics suggest that their form is good coming into the match, and they should be too strong for their opponents. The odds from the bookies suggest the same, and when that happens you've got a pretty compelling case. A St. Johnstone win is our recommendation, but it could be a close one.
