The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2005, the The Diamonds carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Scottish Division One match.

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 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

St. Johnstone's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The games have constituted a decent return of 11 goals for the Saints, and 3 goals against.

Airdrie Utd. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 13 games have yielded only 7 points. St. Johnstone are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 23 points from 12 games.
