Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Under 2.5 Goals – 1.63
Aberdeen Win
Aberdeen are on a fine unbeaten home run as they are undefeated in their last four games at Pittodrie. St. Johnstone meanwhile lost seven of their last eight matches and five consecutive away matches. There is a 55% chance for a home win according to statistics.
Aberdeen -0.5 Goals Handicap
The fact that Aberdeen are favorites to win, they will be able to cover -0.5 handicap if they win by any goal margin. St.Johnstone’s last three away matches ended in 0-2 defeats.
Under 2.5 Goals
There is an 82% chance that this will be a low-scoring affair and the h2h meetings and St.Johnstone’s recent matches are enough justification. To illustrate, 11 of the last 12 h2hs saw under 2.5 goals. Also, St. Johnstone’s all of ten on the road showdowns saw two or fewer goals. Hence, the obvious bet for this match concerning the total goals is backing under 2.5.

Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Aberdeen vs St. Johnstone
It hasn’t been an easy season for Aberdeen as they had to go through some rough spells. To clarify, the Dons started the Scottish Premiership season with two straight wins but went seven matches searching for another victory, drawing two and losing five.
Aberdeen’s inconsistency continued throughout the season until the last seven rounds. From then on, they managed to grab 13 points and take the sixth position which would allow them to play in the Premiership Championship group.
However to hold on to that spot they need to bounce back from their last defeat away to St.Mirren which made them the third-worst away team this season ahead of St. Johnstone and Dundee.
St. Johnstone are destined to fight for relegation as they surely will finish in the bottom half. The Saints are having a horrible season compared to the last term when they finished fifth. With 27 goals conceded in 22 games, they actually have the joint best defense with Livingston among the bottom six clubs.
Offensively though, St.Johnstone have the league’s worst scoring record averaging just 0.5 goals a game (11 goals in 22 matches). Some hope and confidence may arise from the fact that the Saints beat Aberdeen last September at Pittodrie. Moreover, the Saints broke their eight-match losing streak when they drew with Dundee 0-0 in the last round.
In conclusion, Aberdeen are obviously having a better season and need the three points desperately to stay in the top six. The Dons are facing a fierce challenge from Dundee United for the sixth position and can’t afford to lose any points in this match.
Safe Bet
There is a 72% chance according to the statistics that we won’t see goals at both ends in this match. To point out, in six of the last seven h2h meetings, BTTS didn’t happen. Additionally, Saint Johnstone didn’t score in their last six away matches.
Also, Aberdeen’s last two and three of their last five matches saw just one team score. As a result, with odds of 1.63 at Vbet, we will back both teams not to score in that match.
Quick Rich
In four of their last six meetings, the match between Aberdeen and St. Johnstone ended by the scoreline of 1-0. With odds of 5.40 at Vbet for a 1-0 correct score, we will back this back for a quick profit.
Aberdeen vs St. Johnstone Highlighted Player
Lewis Ferguson
At 22-years of age, Lewis Ferguson has emerged as one of the most important midfielders this season for Aberdeen. With five goals scored, Ferguson’s role is not just patrolling the middle of the park for his team but also to join the attack and create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates.
Certainly 83% of passing precision is a very respectable stat for a midfielder and we think Ferguson can be a great asset in Scottish football in the near future.
