This Saturday, St. Mirren will welcome newly promoted outfit St. Johnstone to the SMISA Stadium on matchday two of the Scottish Premiership. The hosts made a winning start to the new campaign and, having defeated this opponent in three of their last four meetings, our prediction is for another St. Mirren victory.
St. Mirren are one of five sides in the Scottish Premiership that have secured three points in the new campaign. This has left them occupying the top spot with St. Johnstone trailing in second place.
The Buddies upset the odds in their season opener with a comfortable 2-0 away victory over Falkirk. Killian Phillips was the standout player, scoring a brace.
It's now four wins in their last five competitive matches, and they will use this momentum to secure a positive result in this fixture.
St. Johnstone marked their return to the Scottish Premiership after a one-year absence in emphatic fashion. It was a goal-laden affair that saw the Perth outfit secure a 4-3 home victory over Kilmarnock.
This result was a welcome response after their disappointing performance in the Scottish League Cup. They finished third in Group F, which resulted in their elimination from the competition.
However, the Saints' overall form has been convincing, with three wins in their last five competitive matches across all competitions.

Our St Mirren vs St Johnstone Prediction
St. Mirren have been a dominant side in this fixture and enter this clash having won three of their last four league games against this opponent (L1). To further boost their confidence, they've shown similar results at home.
St. Johnstone got off to the perfect start on their return to the Scottish Premiership but face a stern test this time. The visitors could be undone by their porous defence after conceding three in the opener. Another factor could be their three defeats in four games in this fixture, which inspires little confidence. Our St. Mirren vs St. Johnstone prediction: St. Mirren wins.
