Saints are favourites to beat Morton, despite poor run of form

Apr 11 2008

FOLLOWING last week’s reverse at Hamilton, St Johnstone’s recent form doesn’t make for pleasant reading.

They’re now without a win in four but before punters become too gloomy, it’s worth noting that Morton have only recorded a single victory in their last 10.

Little wonder they’re scheduled to kick off as bet365’s 3/1 underdogs to win.

As no side has scored more home goals than the Saints (30), Blue Square are completely justified in installing them as their 4/5 favourites, and for punters who enjoy collecting their winnings early, the 13/10 offered by VCBet for St Johnstone to be in front at half time looks difficult to resist.

However, neither side has been in terrific goal-scoring form of late and the 21/20 available at Sportingbet for the match to yield fewer than 2.5 goals is worth considering.

Betdirect’s 7/1 for the home side to register a 2-0 win has proved popular and as two of this season’s four duels have ended as 2-2 draws, the 16/1 offered by Partybets against a repeat of that score tomorrow cannot be discounted; Betfred chalk a hefty 14/1 against a 3-1 home win.
