St Johnstone sit 7th in the Premiership on 7 points from 6 matches, having scored 8 and conceded 9. The model rates their attack at 0.56× the league average and their defence at 1.50× goals conceded, where 1 is average and a lower defensive figure is better — below average at both ends by these numbers. Across their last 5 league matches they have 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats, most recently losing to Celtic 0-1 at home. That is 1.17 points a match, scoring 1.33 and conceding 1.50 per game across 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That leaves them 11 points behind Celtic at the top, in a table of 12. Among the 12 rated sides in the division that is the 11th-best attack and the 3rd-best defence. They scored in 4 of those 5 and kept 1 clean sheet. Next they host Falkirk in the Premiership on 19 September 2026, a match the model gives them 41%.
