St. Johnstone prepare to entertain Hamilton Academical at McDiarmid Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Saints are clearly on top, having won 30 and lost only 12 of the 58 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at McDiarmid Park was less than a year ago, in May 2010, with Hamilton Ac. inflicting a narrow 2-3 defeat upon the Saints in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides
St. Johnstone's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Saints have scored 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Hamilton Ac.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Accies have hit 5 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.
St. Johnstone see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 15 points from their 15 games played so far, Hamilton Ac. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 15 games have yielded only 10 points.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from St. Johnstone at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Saints will at least gain a draw. Score draw
