Dundee FC vs St Johnstone Prediction: Both teams will find the back of the net

Dens Park will host the Scottish Premiership game between Dundee FC and St Johnstone. The home team comes in as the favorite here. Can the road team pull off a shocking win?

Dundee FC's last encounter was against Motherwell, and they secured a win. In a road game, in the 38th minute, Lyall Cameron’s strike was the difference. However, Dundee FC's prior encounters ended without a win, a run that extended to six matches. Dundee FC lost to Kilmarnock, Aberdeen, Rangers, and Ross County in that run, while they drew St. Mirren and Hibernian. In the league standings, Dundee FC sit in the 6th spot with nine points, scoring 13 goals and conceding 14. 

St Johnstone returned to winning ways the previous weekend against Ross County, a game that ended 3-0. St Johnstone scored twice before the break in that game, with Benjamin Kimpioka scoring a brace. However, in the second half, Graham Carey’s strike was enough to seal maximum points for them. In the meantime, it is worth noting that St Johnstone's prior encounters saw them lose to Hibernian, Celtic and Rangers while they drew Ross County. This season, St Johnstone have accumulated seven points from nine matches, leaving them seated 9th spot. 

The two teams have struggled so much this season but will take confidence from their last game, which ended in a win. While Dundee FC will have a home-turf advantage, they also had better results in their last meetings. With the two teams expected to be at their best, a bet on both teams scoring is worth it. Also, with Dundee FC expected to be the better side, I am backing them to take maximum points.
