ST Johnstone vs Dundee Prediction

I'm backing St. Johnstone 1–1 Dundee FC on 7 November 2026 at 18:00. St. Johnstone are in a rut—four games without a win—and their defensive setup just took a hit with goalkeeper Toby Steward suspended after a red card against Kilmarnock. Ross Sinclair steps in as his replacement, and I'm concerned about how that transition plays out given St. Johnstone's recent leakiness at the back. They've conceded 1.80 goals per home game, which is a real problem when you're trying to grind out results.

Dundee arrive off a 3–1 hammering of Kilmarnock and look sharp going forward. Ashley Hay scored twice in that win and carries momentum into Perth. My read is that Dundee will test St. Johnstone's makeshift defence, but St. Johnstone's home record—two wins in their last ten—suggests they'll scrap for something. Both teams have shown they can score and both teams have shown they can leak. A draw feels like the most likely outcome given the form lines and the personnel changes.

Form and H2H

I've looked at the last ten matches for both sides. St. Johnstone at home: two wins, five draws, three losses, averaging 1.10 goals for and 1.50 against. That's a team that doesn't score much and bleeds goals. Dundee away: four wins, two draws, four losses, averaging 1.51 goals for and 1.50 against. They're more dangerous on the road than their record suggests, but their away form is choppy.

The head-to-head between these two tells me draws are common. I see a 2–2 in February 2013, a 1–1 in November 2014, and another 1–1 in April 2015. St. Johnstone won twice in 2015, but the pattern is clear: when these sides meet, goals go in at both ends and the scoreline often settles level. My profit trends show that backing St. Johnstone draws at home has returned 10.54 units over time, while their wins have lost 4.71. That's the edge I'm chasing.

Best bet

I'm taking St. Johnstone 1–1 Dundee FC. I don't have a 1xBet price for the correct score in front of me, so I'll frame this around the markets I can see: I like Both Teams to Score and I'm comfortable with the draw. The defensive vulnerabilities on St. Johnstone's side combined with Dundee's attacking threat make a goal-heavy draw the most likely result. Both sides have conceded consistently, and I expect both to find the net. St. Johnstone's home form is poor enough that they won't win, but they'll score at least once. Dundee will do the same.

Odds to watch

I'm monitoring Both Teams to Score on 1xBet. Dundee have both teams scoring in eight of their last ten matches, and St. Johnstone concede 1.80 per home game. That's a strong signal. I'd also track the Over/Under 2.5 line—I expect this to land under 2.5 goals because despite both teams scoring, the total volume stays modest. St. Johnstone average only 1.10 goals at home, so even with Dundee's threat, I don't see a high-scoring affair. The draw is my primary conviction, and the supporting markets—Both Teams to Score and Under 2.5—align with that read.
