Premiership stats and tips
Rangers v Dundee Utd - Win / Draw / Win - home win
A simple tally suggests our tipsters have a great deal of belief in Philippe Clement and his chances of delivering a win for Rangers on Saturday afternoon. 15 have backed him to inspire his lads to win against Dundee United. Surely the home gaffer won't fail to deliver, will he?
Ross County v Motherwell - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It may not be an honour they're particularly enamoured with, but Ross County currently lead all other teams in the Premiership when it comes to fixtures drawn at both the break and the final whistle this campaign, with their tally now at 5 in 13 outings. They will put that somewhat unwelcome consistency on the line against Motherwell at Victoria Park on Saturday, in a clash that could see yet another dead heat.
St. Johnstone v Kilmarnock - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Losing streaks can be incredibly difficult to break, but that's exactly what must be done by St. Johnstone boss C. Levein on Saturday. His players face Kilmarnock having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 3 Premiership outings.
St. Mirren v Aberdeen - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Winning on a visit to St. Mirren Park is a big ask for any side, but clearly Jimmy Thelin has done enough as Aberdeen gaffer to show our bettors that he’s got what it takes to deliver just that - 7 have have tipped the away win in Saturday’s Premiership match between St. Mirren and Jimmy Thelin. If you wanted to do the same, decent odds of 2.30 are being given by some of the UK's top bookmakers.
Dundee v Hibernian - Double Chance - home win or draw
Being a football fan can be a pretty dispiriting experience at times, and Hibernian’s hardy follows know that only too well at the moment. Their team, led by D. Gray, has not won any of their last 7 Premiership matches, and few will be expecting them to end that run against Dundee at Dens Park on Saturday evening. Backing opposition manager T. Docherty to add to their misery by inspiring his side to a positive result is available at best odds of 1.50.
Hearts v Celtic - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Celtic would never admit to aiming for anything but victory in a match, but clearly KO's members believe they're capable meet those lofty aims right now, as 33 of them are expecting Brendan Rodgers and his boys to earn away win as they visit Heart of Midlothian at Tynecastle Park in the Premiership on Saturday evening. Imagine the scenes in the away end if they're proven right. If you fancied placing the crowd, 1.40 roughly where the UK's leading bookmakers are currently placing it.
Hibernian v Aberdeen - Both Teams To Score & Result - away
Hibernian will be aware that 1 goal probably won't be enough to claim victory over Aberdeen on Tuesday evening. Jimmy Thelin's side have the best record in the Premiership when it comes to claiming victory despite conceding (7 of their 11 outings), so focusing on defence might be the only viable route for D. Gray and his Hibernian men at Easter Road.
Celtic v Ross County - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Celtic have enjoyed success against Ross County in the Premiership in recent years, putting together a run of 11 straight wins against them. D. Cowie will be doing all he can to turn the tide, while Brendan Rodgers will be expecting more of the same on Saturday afternoon.
Dundee Utd v St. Mirren - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring encounters aren't always entirely dull, but fans of Dundee United have had too many chances to test that theory this campaign. 7 of their side's matches in the Premiership have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will Stephen Robinson and his St. Mirren side be capable of adding some goalmouth action into this encounter on Saturday? Or will it be same old same old?
Kilmarnock v Dundee - Both Teams To Score - yes
When Kilmarnock and Dundee have met in the Premiership, they've delivered proper entertainment. Both sides have found the net in each of their last 12 clashes, so the Rugby Park crowd will be expecting another classic on Saturday afternoon.
St. Johnstone v Rangers - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Rangers have enjoyed meeting St. Johnstone in the Premiership recently, with their streak now extending to 5 straight wins against them. C. Levein will be doing all he can to turn the tide, while Philippe Clement will be hoping for more of the same on Sunday lunch time.
Hearts v Aberdeen - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like putting your money on goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming match between Heart of Midlothian and Aberdeen could be the one for you. S. Naismith's side have lost 5 games this term in which both clubs have found the net. That's a record in the Premiership.
