Recent respective form guides

Hibernian's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. A generous 10 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

St. Johnstone's away form is none too clever either, unbeaten in their last six, consisting of three wins and three draws. Just 6 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 0 have been let in at the wrong end.

Hibernian are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 6 points from 8 matches.

St. Johnstone lie just outside the playoff positions in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, picking up 12 from their 8 games so far.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Hibees at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Saints come away with an easy victory. Away win
