As St Johnstone prepare to host Aberdeen at McDiarmid Park on March 15, 2025, at 15:00 UTC, bettors are looking for the best value in this Premiership clash. With Aberdeen favored at 2.25 odds for an away win, St Johnstone priced at 3.12, and a draw sitting at 3.3, the market suggests a tight contest.

The standout betting tip for this match is under 3.5 goals, offered at 1.3 odds with a trust level of 4.6/10. This recommendation aligns with historical trends, as only 24.4% of Premiership matches see over 3.5 goals. Additionally, both teams have shown a tendency for low-scoring affairs, with the predicted final score at 1-0 and a goalless first half anticipated.

St Johnstone are expected to control 49% of possession, while Aberdeen should edge it slightly with 51%. The visitors are projected to create more attacking opportunities, with 14 shots compared to St Johnstone’s 10. However, shots on target remain close, with Aberdeen expected to register 4 and St Johnstone 3. These numbers further reinforce the likelihood of a low-scoring match.

Historically, these sides have produced tight encounters. Their last head-to-head on August 5, 2024, saw Aberdeen win 2-1, while their most recent meeting on December 7, 2024, ended in a 1-1 draw. Notably, St Johnstone pulled off an away win in that December fixture despite being heavy underdogs at 5.5 odds.

Another key betting insight is the 1X double chance (St Johnstone win or draw), offered at 1.62 odds with a trust level of 2.0. While Aberdeen have the stronger squad with a market value of €22.05m compared to St Johnstone’s €7.72m, the hosts have proven resilient in recent matchups.

Discipline is expected to be minimal, with both teams predicted to receive just one yellow card each. Corners could play a role, with Aberdeen projected to win 9 compared to St Johnstone’s 5, totaling 14 in the match.

Considering the stats and betting trends, the safest bet remains under 3.5 goals at 1.3 odds. With both teams likely to adopt a cautious approach, expect a tight, low-scoring battle at McDiarmid Park.
