Premium Tips
Andy leans towards Hibernian, with goals also on the agenda.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Hibernian to win and over 2.5 goals | 29/10 | Hibernian hold a strong recent record against St Johnstone, winning three of the last six meetings, and they will fancy their chances against a Saints side that has leaked goals at home, including a wild 4-3 win over Kilmarnock. The over 2.5 angle is the standout here: every one of Hibs’ four Premiership games this season has produced at least three goals, while St Johnstone have conceded seven in four league outings. With Hibernian carrying a genuine attacking threat and Saints there to be got at, a high-scoring away win for Hibs makes for a compelling combination at McDiarmid Park. |
| Nathan Lowe to score anytime and Miguel Chaiwa to be booked | 8/1 | Nathan Lowe leads the Hibernian line as a regular starter and, with three shots on target already, is due to open his account against a St Johnstone defence that has shipped seven goals in four league games, which makes him a tempting anytime pick. For the second leg, Miguel Chaiwa is a combative midfielder who has already committed three fouls this season and will be busy breaking things up in a lively away fixture, putting him in the frame for a caution. With Lowe carrying a threat and Chaiwa in the thick of the battle, both parts of this double stack up. |
