Goal Statistics

A truly dreadful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for St. Johnstone fans, as should a 6 Premiership matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.

Dundee United have been consistent in front of goal of late, finding the net in 6 consecutive Premiership games. Their PG of 1.5 against St. Johnstone on Thursday suggests that run is likely to continue.
