Recent respective form guides

Dundee's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Dee have scored 5, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

St. Johnstone's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The Saints's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 10 goals for and 8 against.

Dundee are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 19 points from 14 matches. St. Johnstone are leading the way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division One, with their 14 games giving them a return of 27 points.

Nothing seems to be going right for the The Dee at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Saints come away with an easy victory. Away win
