A Sports Betting Pick by Auls
Football: Scottish Premier League
Sunday 21 April 2013 - Kick Off 4:05pm
Preview
This is a match between two teams that may just have ideas of sneaking into Europe through their League position if they can earn a vital three points from the game. With 3rd placed Inverness travelling to Celtic earlier in the day, both St Johnstone and Ross County will feel they will be able to close the gap on them if they can win this game.
St Johnstone are 4th and only 4 points behind Inverness and have plenty of decent form coming into this game as they have won 4 of their last 6 home games, while they are unbeaten in 8 at home. They have a 7-6-3 record at home this season and have scored 20 goals and conceded 15 in that time.
They may just be playing 5th placed Ross County at the right time as the side have lost 3 in a row in the Scottish Premier League including back to back away defeats at Inverness and Hearts. Ross County are only 1 point behind St Johnstone in the League table, but they haven't been so good on their travels, although not easy to beat either.
Ross County are 5-5-7 away from home this season, scoring 23 goals and conceding 29 in those games and they had won 4 of 5 away from home in the League before the back to back defeats to Inverness and Hearts.
The side split two games at home against St Johnstone earlier this season, and they also drew 1-1 here.
The home side are unbeaten in 7 games against Ross County, although only winning 3 of those games.
Prediction
It won't be easy but St Johnstone look a decent shout at odds against to win this game and I like them to do so. There is a chance that both teams will score in this one, but St Johnstone may end up on the right side of those goals that could come in the game and earn the win.
The Pick :
St Johnstone 2-1 Ross County
