Recent respective form guides
Airdrie United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Diamonds have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
St. Johnstone's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Saints's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 9 goals for and 8 against.
Airdrie Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 1 points from 3 matches. St. Johnstone are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 6 points from 3 games.
