Dundee can deliver a big result against Saints
Dundee FC have made a solid start to the Premiership 2026/2027 campaign and they can make it 3 wins in 4 when they face a St. Johnstone side on Wednesday. The Dark Blues have been in mixed form with 3 wins and 2 defeats in their last 5 fixtures but they have responded well to an opening 3-0 defeat in the League Cup at Aberdeen with a 2-0 win at Dundee United in their latest Premiership game. Saints have been in and out of form themselves with 2 wins and 3 losses in their previous 5 matches, claiming an exciting 4-3 victory over Kilmarnock in their most recent Premiership game before falling 1-0 at St. Mirren last time out.
Saints can be dangerous on the counter
Dundee have the edge over Saints in this fixture with 2 recent wins to their name and 2-0 away win in the same fixture in Premiership 2024/2025, but they failed to win either of their previous 2 home games against the Saints.
Steven Pressley's men will come into this one with an eye on a big home result after making a rapid start to the campaign, while Saints have work to do after slipping to sixth with 3 points from 2.
Dundee are unbeaten at home in the new season, winning their only game at Scot Foam Stadium so far, while the Saints have lost their only away game so far, failing to find the net.
Both teams can strike in a tactical scrap
Dundee look the more likely winners here at 8/5 but an improving Saints side, particularly in the final third, may prevent this from becoming a stroll. The hosts average 2.00 goals per home game this season but have yet to concede while the visitors average 0.00 away but have failed to score once.
The contrasting styles of the two sides could make this a fascinating tactical scrap with St. Johnstone's possession and press game pitting against a flexible back three with wing-backs and a team set up to be dangerous on the break and from set pieces.
Simo Valakari's side have been much sharper in transition over the past month with Ruari Paton having 3 goals in his last 5 games as they have scored 10 themselves.
Drey Wright leads the scoring charts for Dundee in the 2026/2027 campaign with 1 goal in 3 games, however, so the Dark Blues have a weapon to match the pace of St. Johnstone, who have received a few good deliveries from Jamie Gullan with 2 assists in 2 games this season, and from the dangerous Cheick Diabate, who has 1 goal in 2 Premiership 2026/2027 games.
This looks like a game for goals and both teams to find the back of the net, so we will go for over 2.5 goals at 22/25 and both teams to score at 33/50 with a close 2-1 win for the hosts.
