Match preview

Dundee welcome ST Johnstone to Dens Park sitting fourth in the Premiership table with six points from their opening four matches. The hosts have demonstrated solid defensive foundations, conceding three goals across those fixtures and recording clean sheets in both of their victories so far. After a narrow 2-1 home defeat to Hibernian, they will be keen to reassert their home authority against an opponent they have historically controlled.

ST Johnstone enter matchday five in ninth place, having collected three points from their first three league outings. While their 4-3 home win over Kilmarnock showed attacking spark, their away form has been problematic, suffering back-to-back defeats on the road against St Mirren (1-0) and Heart of Midlothian (2-1). Producing only 0.5 goals per match away from home highlights their difficulties in creating chances on travel.

Head-to-head history heavily leans toward Dundee, who have lost just one of the past ten meetings between the sides, recording five victories and four draws. ST Johnstone have failed to keep a clean sheet across their league campaign so far, giving Dundee a clear path to dictating terms on home soil.

Dundee or Draw + Under 2.5 Goals
Confidence65%

Dundee or Draw — 76% confidence

Dundee have established a strong record against ST Johnstone, avoiding defeat in nine of their last ten encounters across all venues. With ST Johnstone losing both of their away league fixtures this season and conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game on the road, Dundee are well placed to secure at least a point at Dens Park.

Under 2.5 Goals — 65% confidence

Dundee have maintained a low goals-against average of 0.8 across their opening four league games, keeping two clean sheets. ST Johnstone have struggled for attacking fluency away from home, registering only one goal across two road matches, pointing toward a tightly contested match that stays under the 2.5 total goal threshold.

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.
