St Johnstone v Aberdeen

St Johnstone vs Aberdeen Preview

Both St Johnstone and Aberdeen will be keen to further their claims for a place in the top six of the Scottish Premiership and go through to the Championship Round group at the end of the season as St Johnstone look to end a three-match winless run in the domestic top flight while Aberdeen will be seeking to make it two wins on the trot following their comprehensive 3-0 win away from home at Ross County last time out.

League wins have been hard to come by for Wednesday night's hosts, St Johnstone, as they have managed to capture just four wins in total from their 20 league matches to date this term, all of which have been achieved on home soil at their McDiarmid Park.

Victories against Kilmarnock, Ross County, St Mirren and Hibernian have at least kept St Johnstone at arms length from the bottom position in the Premiership table but they are still six points adrift of Hibernian and the top six places.

St Johnstone have also been handed nine defeats so far this term but results at home have at least been encouraging as The Saints have lost just once in their last seven games, picking up these four wins in the process.

Aberdeen sit two places and three points above their upcoming hosts ahead of Wednesday night's clash at McDiarmid Park and the visitors find themselves just three points adrift of sixth placed Hibernian thanks to winning three out of their last four matches overall.

Recent victories gained over Hearts, Livingston and Ross County, the latter being a 3-0 romp on the road have more than made up for a disappointing 3-0 loss at home to St Mirren in between times but results overall this season have also produced an inconsistent streak for The Dons this term.

Form away from home also underlines Aberdeen's inconsistent nature on the road as the visitors have won three, drawn two but also lost four of their total of nine outings so far this season, but the goals market could be the best angle here as five of Aberdeen's nine away games have resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

St Johnstone v Aberdeen Verdict

St Johnstone and Aberdeen will both be eyeing off the three-point haul ahead of this encounter at McDiarmid Park on Wednesday night as both teams will fancy their chances of claiming a win and lifting themselves nearer to the top six pack as a result.

Goals have featured in both sides' league matches in recent weeks in the Scottish top flight and we could therefore see a few goals scored in this upcoming midweek clash as well, and the Over 2.5 goals option looks an inviting one as the odds are attractively priced for this to be achieved.

Therefore, our main bet will be Over 2.5 goals @ 2.10
