The newly returned to the Scottish elite, St. Johnstone, started the season in an extremely attractive way, having defeated Kilmarnock 4-3 in the first round. However, a different challenge awaits – an away game against St. Mirren, who also started the new campaign with a victory and will have the advantage of playing in front of their own fans.
St. Mirren can limit the guests' attackThe four goals in the first round showed that St. Johnstone can be very dangerous in attacking positions, but they are unlikely to receive such spaces in every match. St. Mirren knows how to be much more stable in defense, especially when playing at home, and I expect the hosts to approach this match more cautiously and limit the opponent's opportunities. A successful start to the season should also give them the necessary confidence.
Prediction: 1XSt. Johnstone showed in the first round that they should not be underestimated after their return to the elite, but the upcoming away game looks significantly more complicated. St. Mirren has the home advantage, and I expect them to perform better defensively than Kilmarnock. Therefore, I will trust the hosts not to lose the match and I choose the double chance 1X.
