Recent respective form guides
St. Johnstone need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. Saints have conceded a disappointing 7 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 2 of their own chances.
St. Mirren's away form is none too clever either, unbeaten in their last six, consisting of three wins and three draws. Just 5 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 1 have been let in at the wrong end.
St. Johnstone are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 45 points from 35 matches. St. Mirren are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 59 points from 35 games.
