St Johnstone, Recent FormSt Johnstone had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 0-0 draw against Livingston. They achieved 50% possession in that match and had 4 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Livingston's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Craig Levein will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 4 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 5 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. This season they have failed to score in 10 of their 20 games, and of the 10 games they have played at home, they've conceded at least one goal on 7 occasions.
They have been on a decent run of form lately at McDiarmid Park, going undefeated in 5 of their previous 6 games there and notching up 4 wins along the way.
Goalscorer Nicky Clark will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for St Johnstone.
Aberdeen, Recent FormWhen Aberdeen last played in the league they faced Ross County and produced an outstanding 3-0 away win. In that game they had 47% possession and managed 16 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Ross County who had 5 attempts and 3 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 7, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 8 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, and this season they've failed to score in 9 of their 18 games.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Aberdeen recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Jamie McGrath will be looking to cause St Johnstone some problems having scored 5 goals in Aberdeen's last 6 away games in the league.
Last time St Johnstone played Aberdeen the best they could manage was a 0-0 draw.
It's been a long time since St Johnstone have managed to find the back of the net against The Dons, having failed to score against them in their last 4 league encounters. Playing at home, St Johnstone have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Aberdeen. The Aberdeen defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit The Saints in the league, with Aberdeen conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
St Johnstone has a poor track record in the league when they host Aberdeen, losing in their last 2 home games.
With 2 goals notched up from the last 3 league meetings against St Johnstone at their home ground McDiarmid Park, Aberdeen man Graeme Shinnie will be looking for more of the same in this one.
St Johnstone manager Craig Levein has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ali Crawford (Calf), Sam McClelland (Ankle) and Drey Wright (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Aberdeen manager Barry Robson has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
