St Johnstone vs Dundee United Prediction & Betting Tips - Scottish Premiership
by Steve Ashfield in Scottish Premiership Predictions
St Johnstone are bottom of the Scottish Premiership and have lost their last two league games. They host fifth-placed Dundee United on Boxing Day and the visitors have gone three league games without a win. Here's our match prediction.
Saturday saw the Saints lose 2-1 at bottom-of-the-table Hearts and they have now gone four league games without a win and now prop up the table. Six of St Johnstone’s eight home league games this season have been lost with just two wins.
The last two have been lost to Rangers and St Mirren. The latter saw them lose 3-2 after being 2-1 up going into the 88th minute but a 99th minute penalty condemned them to defeat. Six of their last eight home league games have seen over 2.5 goals scored.
Dundee United didn't win or lose on Sunday but gained a highly respectable home goalless draw with leaders Celtic. They are fifth in the Scottish Premiership, 11 points above their opponents.
The Tangerines have won two out of eight on the road with four draws but haven't won in their last four. Their most recent one was a 4-3 thriller against Motherwell. Only one of their last six away league games has been won though. We go for both teams to score.

More than 80 leagues and competitions are available on this football promotion from bet365. If the team that you have backed takes a two-goal lead at any point in the game, then your bet is a winner. This counts on both single bets and on multiple placed on the full time market, though of course on a multiple it is only the game in question that is marked as a winner, all the other selections still have to win as well.
A bet placed on any enhanced price is not valid for this offer, nor any bet that is cashed out. If you have partially chased out, the remainder of the stake is paid out as a winner. If your acca selection would have been a loser but for this offer then you will not gain any acca boost winnings. So for example, your team goes 2-0 up so you are paid out as a winner but the end result is 2-2, your bet is still a winner if all the other selections win but you do not gain any acca boost.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
