How it turned out

We projected about 2.5 goals and the game finished with 2. Both teams scored. We made St Johnstone or Draw 68%, and it landed.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 1.3 goals from St Johnstone and 1.2 from Dundee United, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.5 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Dundee United come into this on two straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: St Johnstone or Draw. This covers St Johnstone or the draw, trading a shorter price for a wider safety net. A sensible way to back the lean without needing the exact result.

We put the chance of that landing at about 68 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.48, which works out at about 68 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
