St. Johnstone and Dundee United have met often recently, and the home side rarely enjoys a good spell against this opponent. This time both teams sit 5th and 6th with the same 11 points from 8 matches, so this is a game that will show which side climbs into the upper group of the table. St. Johnstone just won 1-0 in their last match, and at home in the first half they have never trailed in the 8 matches played at this ground. Dundee United, meanwhile, are on a winning run and score plenty in matches against opponents who open up, but their defence still concedes regularly, especially early in the second half, where the goals they concede make up 20% of all they have let in. This game is likely to see the home side having to open up first, because Dundee United are good at waiting for their moment and breaking quickly in the second half. If St. Johnstone can hold the ball for long spells and avoid conceding early in the second half, the game tends to end without defeat.
