St Johnstone will be determined to snap their run without a victory in the Scottish Premiership when they host Hibernian at McDiarmid Park on matchday six. With the visitors seeing their last four league games produce over 2.5 goals, our prediction is for another high-scoring affair.
St Johnstone had a positive start to the Scottish Premiership, picking up their first three points - a perfect return to the top flight after one season away.
However, they've failed to build on that momentum as they enter this clash winless in their last three matches. In fact, one point from those encounters currently sees them in eighth place in the league standings.
In their recent match, the Saints settled for a 1-1 draw against Dundee FC away from home. This comes after suffering two consecutive defeats.
Hibernian have amassed six points from four games and are in seventh place. Three points separate them from the top three.
David Gray's men failed to make it three straight wins in their recent match against Hearts. Hibs looked the more dangerous side in the final third, with their 1.69 xG highlighting their superior chance creation.
At the end of the day, it wasn't enough for them to avert a 3-1 home defeat. They were also reduced to ten men after Jack Iredale received two bookings.

Our St Johnstone vs Hibernian Prediction
The last time these two teams locked horns, Hibernian came out on top in a 3-0 victory, extending their unbeaten run in the fixture to four games. This suggests they could once again avoid defeat in this clash.
However, St Johnstone won't make it easy for them as their first home match of the season saw them run out winners in a seven-goal thriller. Also, this is a side that has scored in four successive home matches against Hibernian, making them capable of contributing to a high-scoring match. Our St Johnstone vs Hibernian prediction: over 2.5 goals.
