St. Johnstone set for win against Hamilton Academicals

St. Johnstone set for win against Hamilton Academicals

On Wednesday night, St. Johnstone host Hamilton Academicals in the Scottish Premier League.

St. Johnstone are currently eighth-place in the SPL after a mixed league campaign so far. The home side still has a chance of finishing in the top-six, but a highly inconsistent run of form of late has hampered their chances of a top-six finish this season.

The fact that Tommy Wright’s side have won two, drawn two and lost two of their last six league matches illustrates their indifferent form of late in the SPL.

Last time out the home side drew 1-1 with Hibernian. The game was another low scoring encounter for St. Johnstone, as four of their last six SPL games have produced under 2.5 goals.

Surprisingly the home side has a poor home record in the Scottish top-flight of late, as they have won just one of their last 11 league games on home soil, suffering seven defeats in the process.

Like their hosts, Hamilton Academicals have also endured mixed fortunes this season in the SPL. The Accies are currently four points behind the home side in the SPL table. However, they have played two fewer games than their hosts have in the Scottish top-flight.

Martin Canning’s side are unbeaten in three SPL games, having recorded two wins and a draw. Their recent games in the SPL have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six games in the Scottish top-flight.

The visitors have a poor recent away record in the SPL, as they have won just one of their last eight games on their travels while suffering defeats in four of their last six league games on the road.

There is not much between these two teams in terms of quality. However, Forebet predicts that the home side will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
