St. Johnstone v Kilmarnock : Premiership match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 3rd May, 15:00 BST, McDiarmid Park, Perth

Kilmarnock, led by manager Derek McInnes, visit Simo Valakari and his St. Johnstone side at the McDiarmid Park on Saturday afternoon in the Premiership. Premiership statistics are the backbone of the predictions you'll find below, with head to head (H2H) records included too. There's so much to explore, with graphics and odds available for seventeen major betting markets via the tabs.


Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest we don't have an obvious winner for this clash, but good reason to think St. Johnstone and Kilmarnock will score at least a couple of goals between them. We've seen goals when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Simo Valakari or Derek McInnes has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s of late either. The bookmakers predict over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.36 equating to approximately a 74% probability.
