The Scotland Premiership season reaches its climax on Sunday, 18 May 2025, when St Johnstone benvenuto Dundee to McDiarmid Park. Kick-off is set for 16:00 CEST (Italia, Germania, Francia, Spagna) e 15:00 BST in the UK, as both sides chase crucial points on matchday 38.
With St Johnstone sitting 6th on 32 points and Dundee just above in 4th with 37 points, this encounter carries significant weight for mid-table pride and momentum ahead of next season. Supporters can expect an open affair as both teams have shown defensive vulnerabilities and a willingness to attack.
Come si presentano le due squadre?
St Johnstone’s campaign under manager Simo Johannes Valakari has been a rollercoaster, marked by 9 wins, 5 draws and 22 defeats. Their recent form is shaky, with just one victory in the last five outings, and a 1-2 loss to Hearts FC in their most recent match highlighting ongoing defensive concerns. However, the home side will be buoyed by familiar surroundings and a need to finish the season strongly.
Dundee, led by Gary Bowyer, have amassed 37 points through 10 wins, 7 draws and 19 defeats. Like their hosts, they have struggled for consistency, securing only a single win and one draw in their last five games. Their 1-1 draw with Ross County FC last time out underlines a resilient streak, but persistent defensive frailties could be exposed by St Johnstone’s attacking intent.
La nostra previsione
We anticipate a closely contested match that ultimately swings in favour of the home side. Our tip is for St Johnstone to claim victory, capitalising on home advantage and Dundee’s leaky defence. With odds of 2.40 for a home win, this represents solid value in our view.
Given both teams’ tendency to concede, we also expect goals at both ends. A forecast scoreline of 2-1 to St Johnstone seems plausible, reflecting an open contest and supporting an over 2.5 goals market. Bettors might also consider the “Both Teams to Score – Yes” option at 1.65.
