St Johnstone v Dundee Utd: Pick of the stats

Must read

  • Against no other side has Dundee United boss Jim Goodwin won more Scottish Premiership games as a manager than his six against St Johnstone (also 6 v Ross County). However, only one of those six has come in his seven away games against the Saints (D2 L4), winning 1-0 in August 2022 with Aberdeen.

  • Dundee United have scored at least once in nine of their last 10 away league games, only failing at Aberdeen in October (1-0 defeat).

  • St Johnstone have lost 11 and won just two of their 17 home league games in 2024 (D4). It’s the most home defeats by a side in a single calendar year in the Scottish Premiership since 2018, when Hamilton lost 13 and Dundee lost 12.

  • Dundee United are looking to earn back-to-back top-flight victories over St Johnstone for the first time since April 2012.

  • St Johnstone’s last home league meeting with Dundee United saw them win 1-0 in May 2023; the Saints last won successive home Scottish Premiership meetings with the Tangerines in December 2014 (3 in a row).
