History of the Dundee v St. Johnstone fixture

St. Johnstone face a trip to Dundee at Dens Park on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 57 games played, Saints have recorded 21 wins, and Dundee have come away with 25 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2006, with St. Johnstone inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the The Dee in a Scottish Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Dundee's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. The The Dee's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.

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 games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the Saints, and 1 goals against.

Dundee's 12 points from 7 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 4th position. St. Johnstone are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 15 points from 7 games.
