St. Johnstone vs Partick Thistle: match statistics
St. Johnstone presents impressive home form with 58% of matches won at home and only 8% losses, making them a very difficult opponent on their own turf. The hosts hold the best table position and a significantly better goal difference in home matches (+17) compared to the visitors' away record (-4). Partick Thistle struggles on the road, winning only 27% of their matches and conceding an average of 1.45 goals per match, which is more than double what St. Johnstone concedes at home (0.58). Additionally, the hosts hold the advantage in expected goals (xG For: 1.95 vs xG Against: 0.78 in home matches), indicating their dominance. The form of both teams in the last five matches is similar (2 points per match each), yet the home advantage and St. Johnstone's solid defense tip the scales in their favor. The low probability of a draw stems from the fact that the hosts have had 33% draws at home this season, while the guests have a similar percentage away.
