St Johnstone are bookies' favourites against Livingston

Mar 13 2009 by Gordon Bannerman, Perthshire Advertiser Friday

HAVING restored a four-point cushion at the top of the table following their impressive win at Clyde, St Johnstone travel to third-placed Livingston tomorrow.

Saints have won their last seven league fixtures against Livi, scoring 18 goals in the process and conceding just four.

Although their propensity to draw away from home cannot be ignored, the league leaders' midweek performance has persuaded a considerable number of punters to take advantage of Victor Chandler's 13/10 odds posted in favour of another Saints success.

Despite enjoying home advantage, Livi are Boylesports' 15/8 underdogs tomorrow. Jenningsbet prices the draw at an attractive-looking 5/2.

Conscious of St Johnstone's nine away draws, punters have piled into Coral's 11/10 for the opening half to end level. Bet365's 10/3 for the Saints to lead 1-0 at half time has also found favour, as has Sportingbet's nap-looking 4/11 for St Johnstone to win when given a one goal start.

Stan James' 9/2 for both halves to finish all square catches the eye, together with Betfred's 11/2 for the match to end 1-1.
