Dundee Utd to Win

St Johnstone – Dundee Utd Lineups, Team News & Recent Form
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news about both teams ahead of their Saturday's Premiership bout below.
St Johnstone
After failing to win any of their last seven games in the league and losing four of those matches, St Johnstone fall down the standings and now they are in the ninth place, i.e. third in the Relegation group after the league split. They are also six points ahead of Ross County, the last team in the standings, so they should be safe from relegation, although they can easily finish second last and have to battle it out in the playoffs.
When it comes to team news, the team's top striker Nicky Clark remains out with an injury, while the same goes for Murray Davidson too.
St Johnstone Predicted Lineup:
Matthews – McGowan, Gordon, Considine, Montgomery – Phillips, MacPherson – Wright, Wotherspoon, Murphy – May
Dundee Utd
Although Dundee Utd struggled for the majority of the season in Premiership, they are currently on a three-game winning run, thanks to which they have managed to get a bit of a separation from Ross County, the last team in the standings, as they are now four points ahead of them. So, Dundee Utd has a good chance to stay up, but the battle is far from over.
Meanwhile, Dylan Levitt, Glenn Middleton, Peter Pawlett, and Liam Smith are on the team's injury list at this time.
Birighitti – Freeman, Ayina, Mulgrew, McMann – Harkes, Sibbald – Niskanen, McGrath, Behich – Fletcher
Dundee Utd Predicted Lineup:
Walker – Mayo, Taylor, Chambers – Armstrong, Power, Donnelly, Watson, McKenzie – Vassell, Doidge
