There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the St Johnstone players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Kilmarnock.  In that game they had 54% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Kilmarnock who had 17 attempts and 5 on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

A home win for St Johnstone is just a distant memory, having not won at McDiarmid Park in 7 games.

Last time out for Hibernian resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 1-1 draw against Motherwell in a match they really wanted to win.  In that game they recorded 49 % of the possession, with 8 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 8 shots on goal.  

They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost.  Their goal scoring streak now stands at 10 games in a row.  

Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.  

Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Hibernian, Myziane Maolida will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
