Recent respective form guides

Again, the following form statistics mainly come from the previous season, so make of them what you will.

St Johnstone have only collected one win and three draws from the last six home games played. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 10 to nine.

Aberdeen's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just one and draw two of the last six. While the Dons have hit four goals, eight have hit the back of the wrong net.

St Johnstone see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of one point from their one game played so far, Aberdeen are leading the way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, with their one game giving them a return of three points.
