Kilmarnock – ST Johnstone

Match analysis

Kilmarnock host a struggling St Johnstone at Rugby Park, looking to snap a miserable start to the season after four defeats and just one point from five games, sitting 12th with a 4‑14 goal deficit. The visitors sit comfortably in seventh place, having amassed seven points from two wins, one draw and three losses, and will be eager to extend their modest lead over the relegation‑threatened side. Both teams have been porous in front of goal, Kilmarnock averaging less than a goal per game while St Johnstone have conceded nine, so a clean sheet could prove decisive. A positive result for Kilmarnock could lift them out of the bottom three, whereas a win for St Johnstone would solidify their push for a top‑half finish.
