A test of nerve as much as quality when ST Johnstone welcome Celtic.
A Scottish Premiership fixture between ST Johnstone and Celtic. Here's what the numbers and form tell us ahead of kick-off.
The lead strikers on both sides carry the narrative here. ST Johnstone will lean on whoever's hot in front of goal, while Celtic travel with the same brief: find a way past a back four that's been organised more often than not this season.
Celtic have been outstanding on the road recently. Their away form is significantly better than their season average.
This doesn't look like a high-scoring one. ST Johnstone average 4.0 goals per game and Celtic manage 1.9. Combined that's just 5.9. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game.
ST Johnstone are all-out attack: 4.0 goals a game, but they leak 3.0 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at Celtic, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at. Celtic have goals in them (1.9 per game) but their record at the back (1.1 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end.
