Match description
St. Johnstone are favorites: they sit 1st and win 59% of home matches, scoring on average 2.06 goals and conceding 0.65 per game, while Raith Rovers are 5th and win only 18% away, averaging 0.53 goals and conceding 1.06. The hosts create significantly more chances — 16.06 shots and 5.41 on target per game with xG 1.89, versus 9.35 shots, 2.88 on target and xG 1.19 for the visitors; differences of approx. +6.7 shots, +2.5 on target and +0.70 xG. Additionally St. Johnstone have 53% clean sheets at home and fail to score in only 24% of home matches, while Raith fail to score in 59% of away games and have an away goal difference of -9, indicating issues in chance conversion. Although Raith have 4 wins in their last 5 matches and 13 goals in that period, their low away conversion (6%) and the hosts’ statistical superiority lead me to back a St. Johnstone win.
