Analysis: St Johnstone vs. Kilmarnock – Scottish Premiership – November 1, 2023
A clash of contrasting fortunes awaits as struggling St Johnstone hosts resurgent Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership on November 1, 2023. With St Johnstone still searching for their first league win and Kilmarnock eyeing a third consecutive victory, let’s analyze both teams and what to expect in this encounter.
St Johnstone’s Struggles Continue
St Johnstone’s Scottish Premiership campaign has been nothing short of disappointing, with the club failing to secure a win in their opening nine fixtures. This unfortunate run has left them rooted at the bottom of the league table, earning just four points from drawn matches.
A recurring issue for Steve Robinson’s side has been their inability to find the back of the net consistently. They’ve managed to score only three goals this season, a statistic that reflects their offensive struggles. This was evident in their recent 4-0 defeat to St Mirren, a match they’d rather forget.
However, there’s a glimmer of hope for St Johnstone when playing at home, where they’ve scored their only goals of the season. With only five points separating them from Ross County, the team aims to climb the standings through consistent performances.
Kilmarnock’s Resurgence
In contrast, Kilmarnock’s fortunes have taken a positive turn lately. They returned from the latest international break with back-to-back victories, lifting them from the relegation zone to an impressive fourth place in the Premiership.
Kilmarnock’s win against Livingston was followed by another triumph over Aberdeen, showcasing their attacking prowess with goals from Kyle Vassell and Marley Watkins. They also displayed defensive solidity, keeping a clean sheet.
Despite their resurgence, Kilmarnock has yet to secure an away victory in the league this season. They will be eager to change this trend in the upcoming fixture.
