Aberdeen or Draw — 76% confidence

Aberdeen come into the match in positive form, remaining undefeated across their last five matches. In contrast, ST Johnstone have yet to win away from home in league play this season, taking only one point from three away matches while failing to keep a clean sheet anywhere this term. Aberdeen have also avoided defeat in nine of their last ten clashes against ST Johnstone.

Under 2.5 Goals — 77% confidence

Meetings between Aberdeen and ST Johnstone have consistently been low-scoring affairs, with nine of the previous ten head-to-head encounters producing under 2.5 goals at an average of 1.4 goals per match. Aberdeen have maintained a tight defensive record at home, averaging 0.7 goals conceded and 0.7 scored per match, while ST Johnstone average just 0.7 goals scored per away game in the Premiership.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (double chance and total goals), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
