Recent respective form guides

Partick Thistle will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While The Jags have scored 7, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

St. Johnstone's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Saints, and 7 goals against.

Partick Th. see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division One, showing a record of 36 points from their 27 games played so far, St. Johnstone are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 47 points from 28 games.
