Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting it's unlikely that this match will serve up 4 goals or more, and the odds and statistics point in the same direction as KO's predictive algorithm on this one. Kilmarnock and St. Johnstone haven't typically treated their fans to thrillers of late, whether that be in the Premiership individually or in head-to-head clashes. So, in the absence of a convincing favourite win or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. You can go for that at a best price of 1.29.
