Dundee FC vs St Johnstone Prediction: A tight contest expected to go in Dundee’s favor

Seeking to break free from their concerning streak without a win, Dundee is set to compete against relegation-threatened St Johnstone at the Scot Foam Stadium on Sunday afternoon in the Scottish Premiership. The Dark Blues suffered a defeat in their previous match at the hands of St Mirren, while the Saints failed to secure any points in their encounter with Hearts.

In that game, Dundee held 49% possession and attempted 5 shots on goal, none of which found the target. Conversely, St Mirren recorded 19 shots, with 6 on target, leading to goals from Mikael Mandron (73') and Toyosi Olusanya (91'). Defensive solidity has been a rare sight for Dundee recently, having conceded in 5 of their last 6 matches, allowing a total of 10 goals.

Analyzing their recent history, Dundee has displayed resilience against St Johnstone: they haven't suffered a league defeat in their last 4 encounters and have not secured a victory in the last 3 league matches against St Johnstone.
