ST Johnstone

Celtic have started the league campaign in flawless fashion with five consecutive victories, averaging 2.6 goals scored per game and conceding just 0.6. They have won both of their away league fixtures, scoring seven goals in the process. ST Johnstone have yet to record a clean sheet this season, conceding an average of two goals per game at home. Furthermore, Celtic have won eight of the last ten head-to-head meetings, creating an overwhelming multi-signal advantage across current form, league standings, and recent history.

Hibernian have been effective on their travels in league competition, winning both of their away matches while scoring four goals. ST Johnstone have struggled for consistency, claiming just one victory from four league games and conceding seven times without managing a clean sheet. Hibernian also hold the advantage in historical head-to-head fixtures, winning five of the last ten meetings. Given both sides have defensive concerns but Hibernian carry greater offensive reliability, backing the visitors to secure at least a point offers strong support.

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.

This selection meets the high standard for a straight match winner due to an extreme head-to-head record where Hearts have won all 10 previous encounters between the two sides. Combined with Hearts scoring four goals without reply in their opening home league fixture and St Johnstone failing to score on their only away league trip, the host advantage is exceptionally well-supported.
