Goal Statistics

A PG of 2.0 is fairly strong for Aberdeen in their meeting with St. Johnstone, as is their run of scoring 1 goal or more in 20 consecutive Premiership games.

Goals have been a problem for St. Johnstone of late. It has been 5 Premiership games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.0 suggests they'll have problems ending that run on Saturday afternoon against Aberdeen.
