Recent respective form guides

Dundee's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. The The Dee's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.

St. Johnstone's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the Saints, and 1 goals against.

Dundee's 12 points from 7 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 4th position. St. Johnstone are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 15 points from 7 games.
