LiontipsSt. Johnstone vs. Hibernian. Prediction (odds 2.05) and bets on the match of the Scottish Championship
Command Analysis
Current form
St Johnstone approached the start of the season with a very modest selection of players, not being able to set themselves too ambitious goals for this reason. At the same time, Simo Valakari team was not considered a clear outsider and a contender for relegation, but they failed in the first half of the season and are currently at the bottom of the standings, three points behind Hearts. Having lost 0:4 to Celtic in the last round, St Johnstone suffered their fourth defeat in a row.
Disqualifications and injuries
McClelland is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- St Johnstone have lost their last four matches
- St Johnstone have scored in five of their last six home games
Estimated lineup: Ray-Sanders, Mikulich, Cameron-Essel, Franczak, Sprangler, Smith, Raymond-Clark, Kirk.
Current form
Hibernian probably set themselves the task of breaking into the top six at the end of the first part of the season and fighting for European cups. So far, David Gray team has not coped with this task and is in seventh place in the table, three points behind sixth-placed Motherwell, but at the same time, the competitor has a match in hand. In the last round, Hibernian beat Kilmarnock 1:0 at home, thus achieving their fourth victory in a row and managing to get very close to the top six.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bowie is injured.
Interesting trends for betting

1.85Tip and bets
Hibernian will undoubtedly be in a determined mood today – the competition for a place in the top six is off the charts and the visitors cannot afford to lose points against the main outsider of the championship. St. Johnstone concede a lot and regularly, it will be almost impossible to keep a clean sheet against such an opponent, but at home the Saints will certainly take risks, an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.79
Bet on the outcome
Hibernian have put together a four-game winning streak and are closing in on the top six – the visitors will clearly be betting on a win against the league’s biggest underdog. It’s unlikely to be an easy match for Hibs, the hosts have nothing to lose and their motivation will clearly be off the charts, but Hibernian currently looks objectively stronger and is significantly better in class than the Saints.
The bet is Hibernian to win. This bet is offered at 2.05
Bet on corners
Hibernian are favourites and will probably spend a lot of time attacking, but St Johnstone are capable of responding at home and there should be plenty of corners.
Bet - total over 10.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.85
