General match analysis
Aberdeen are unbeaten in their last five matches, recording 2 wins and 3 draws, scoring 10 goals and conceding just 3. St. Johnstone have won once and suffered 2 defeats over the same period, with a goal difference of 5:6. Aberdeen’s defensive strength at home bolsters their home advantage: they concede an average of 0.67 goals on home soil, while the visitors concede 1.33 per away game and have yet to keep a clean sheet. However, the hosts need to improve their finishing: they average just 0.67 goals at home despite an xG of 1.15 and have failed to score in 67% of their matches. The visitors also average 0.67 goals away from home, although their xG stands at 1.29. Given Aberdeen’s stronger recent form, I’m tipping a narrow home win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
BTTS has landed in 75% of Aberdeen matches and 67% of St. Johnstone matches, rising to 60% and 80%, respectively, across their last five games. Neither side has kept a clean sheet this season, strengthening the case for both teams to score. Aberdeen average 1.75 goals per match, while St. Johnstone concede 1.33, making a home goal likely. The main concern is the visitors’ finishing: they score just 0.67 goals on average despite an xG of 1.29. However, the hosts concede 1.50 goals per match, so the pick remains BTTS - Yes.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The strongest signal points to Under 3.5 goals: this threshold has not been exceeded in any of St. Johnstone’s matches so far or in 75% of Aberdeen’s matches. The visitors score an average of just 0.67 goals per match, despite an xG of 1.29, suggesting they create more chances than they convert. Aberdeen average 1.75 goals, but have conceded just 3 goals in total across their last five matches, limiting the scoring outlook for their opponents. An estimated 2.45 total goals favors the 3.5 line more clearly than the 2.5 line, which has been exceeded in 50% of Aberdeen’s matches and 33% of St. Johnstone’s.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
A draw at half-time occurred in 75% of Aberdeen’s home matches and 67% of St. Johnstone’s away games, making a closely contested first half the most likely outcome. The visitors have yet to score before the break in these away fixtures, while Aberdeen were level at half-time in three of their last five matches. After the break, the balance should tip in the hosts’ favor: they have averaged 1.4 goals in the second half across their last five matches, compared with St. Johnstone’s 0.6. Aberdeen average 1.75 points per home game, while the visitors manage just 0.33 points away and have lost 67% of those matches. These figures most strongly support an HT/FT scenario of a draw at the break followed by an Aberdeen win.
