St Johnstone vs Rangers Predictions

Rangers can claim another three points on Sunday, but it's unlikely to be easy against a usually stubborn St Johnstone side.

I expect a low-scoring contest, with the Gers tipped to keep a clean sheet, while emerging with a narrow away victory.

St Johnstone have seen under 3.5 goals in 13 of their last 14 matches against Rangers
Rangers have kept a clean sheet in their last 7 victories against St Johnstone
Rangers have seen under 3.5 goals in 12 of their last 13 away matches
Rangers have kept a clean sheet in their last 10 away victories

Head to Head

Rangers have an excellent recent record in matches played against St Johnstone. The Glasgow giants have won eight of their last nine encounters, while they have lost only one of 20 league contests since 2018.

The Gers have picked up 2-0 victories in their three most recent league meetings.

St Johnstone Form

St Johnstone will be out to avoid a third successive league defeat on Sunday after back-to-back reversals against Hearts (1-0) and Dundee (2-1). Craig Levein's side have won just one of their last nine Premiership matches over the past eight weeks.

Much stronger at McDiarmid Park, the Saints have avoided defeat in eight of their last ten fixtures in Perth. An average of 2.1 goals was scored in those ten matches.

St Johnstone Team News

Head coach Levein is likely to make changes to his selection with the former Scotland boss unimpressed at his team's display in the defeat at Dundee.

Ukrainian midfielder Maksym Kucheriavyi could earn a recall; however, Drey Wright, Cammy MacPherson and Ross Sinclair remain long-term absentees.

Rangers Form

Rangers arrive in Perth looking for an eighth successive victory after a dominant 3-1 victory against Ross County on Wednesday.

In a largely one-sided display, a double strike from Cyriel Dessers helped the Gers secure an 11th win in 12 Premiership matches.

Away from Ibrox, Phillipe Clement's side have won nine of their last 11 away fixtures, with clean sheets kept in all nine victories.

Now level with Celtic at the top of the Premiership, Rangers have lost only one of their last 26 matches since October.

Rangers Team News

Head coach Clement has no new injury worries ahead of Sunday's trip to Perth. The Belgian could make one or two changes to his selection, with Fabio Silva and Oscar Cortes in contention for places in the first XI.

Kieran Dowell, Kemar Roofe, Danilo, and Abdallah Sima remain sidelined for the visitors.

Verdict

St Johnstone v Rangers

Rangers should claim another vital victory on Sunday.

I expect a low-scoring away win, with the Gers also expected to keep another clean sheet.
