Command Analysis
St. Johnstone
ScotlandCurrent form
St Johnstone were on the brink of relegation last season and only avoided the play-offs on additional indicators, ahead of Ross County. In the current championship, the team is also not playing at its best and is in the relegation group. In the last rounds, Simo Valakari charges lost to St Mirren (2:3) and Hearts (1:2), thereby losing the opportunity to leave the last place. Now the club is at the bottom of the tournament table and is one point behind the penultimate Ross County.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ikleazu and Maferson are injured and will not appear on the pitch.
Interesting trends for betting
- St Johnstone have scored in their last three matches
- The hosts have conceded in four of their last five matches
Probable lineup: Ray - Raymond, Mikulicz, Sanders, Wright - Carey, Sprangler, Holt - Kimpioka, Clark, Kirk.
Dundee United
ScotlandCurrent form
Dundee United spent last season in the Scottish Championship. The team managed to win this competition, beating second-placed Raith Rovers by six points. Thus, the team returned to the Premier League. Here, the club immediately proved that it would not fight for survival. Right now, the team is in fifth place in the league table and is only one point behind fourth-placed Motherwell. In one of the last rounds, the hosts lost to Motherwell with a score of 3:4, but immediately after that they managed to take points from the formidable Celtic (0:0).

1.80Tip and bets
Dundee United are on the rise now, as they managed to take points from the league leaders, Celtic, in the previous round, which is something that few teams manage to do. The upcoming opponent is much lower level, so the team is unlikely to lose here. We think it is worth betting on the visitors with a zero handicap.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Dundee United for 1.80
Bet on total
In three of the last four head-to-head matches, only one team has scored. Given the current form of the teams, we are inclined to believe that the upcoming meeting will be a similar situation, that is, only Dundee United will be able to score in 90 minutes of play.
Our prediction is that at least one will not score with a coefficient of 2.05
Bet on corners
If Dundee United play with the same enthusiasm as they did against Celtic, then we will see the visitors' total superiority in many areas, including the number of corner kicks.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) corners for Dundee United with odds of 2.30
