St Johnstone vs Rangers Prediction: Do not underestimate Johnstone

Rangers will travel to play St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park in Perth in the round of 14 matches of the Scottish Premiership. We look into the match details and make betting options available.

After beating Kilmarnock 1-0 in the Premiership, St. Johnstone will try to win again. In that game, St. Johnstone had 38% of the ball and 8 shots on goal, but only two were on goal. On the other hand, Kilmarnock had 7 shots on goal, but only 2 of them hit the goal. Ash Taylor scored an own goal for Kilmarnock in the fourth minute. St. Johnstone's defense hasn't been very strong in recent games very often. The truth is that St. Johnstone's defense has been broken into in 5 of their last 6 games, which has led to 7 goals being scored against them. Let's see if that pattern continues in this next match. But before this game, St. Johnstone had not beaten Rangers in their last 14 league games.

Rangers and their fans who traveled with them will be hoping for a better result after losing their last Champions League game to Ajax. Rangers had 46% of the ball in that game, and 3 of their 8 shots on goal were on goal. James Tavernier (87') was the only player for Rangers to score. Ajax took 13 shots at the goal, but only 7 were on target. Ajax scored with goals from Steven Berghuis (4'), Mohammed Kudus (29'), and Francisco Conceico (89'). Rangers have had goals scored against them in 5 of their last 6 games, for a total of 9 goals scored against them. Rangers need to get better at defense.

Rangers are the favorite to win this match despite playing away from home. However, their previous performances over Rangers say otherwise. However, we can not write St Johnstone’s chances of taking at least a point in this match following an impressive recent win in the league. Despite this, we still expect a tight match here.
