Dundee United are still looking for their first win of the Scottish Premiership campaign, but they will try again on Sunday when they host St Johnstone at Tannadice Park with kickoff at 5 pm.
Dundee United have had a bad start to the 2022-23 Scottish Premiership season, winning none of their opening seven games. They are the only team in the league without a victory and sit bottom of the table heading into this weekend.
Their poor performances have left them facing relegation from the top flight, but that could change with their maiden win.
Kilmarnock is only two points above them, but Dundee United has not yet managed to pick up any positive results at Tannadice Park, with their two draws coming away from home.
The poor defensive displays they’ve showcased have been a big reason they’ve conceded 20 times already this season.
St Johnstone may be pleased to hear that their opponents haven’t been scoring recently; the squad has been performing well defensively.
The team has kept consecutive clean sheets heading into Sunday’s match, so they should enter the game with plenty of confidence. However, St Johnstone failed to score themselves in their most recent performance, with their game against Ross County ending in a goalless draw.

Dundee United Team News
New Dundee United manager Liam Fox will implement his own ideas this season, meaning the team may look slightly different against Morton on Saturday. However, Tony Watt will most likely retain his place up front—his experience and goal threat will prove vital to their survival efforts this season.
St. Johnstone Team News
Remi Matthews will start in goal again on Sunday to extend their current run of good form. The combination of Nicky Clark and Stevie May is one that manager Ray McKinnon might look to use again, with their attacking experience likely to be important in Sunday’s fixture.
Prediction and Odds
St Johnstone will see this as the perfect opportunity to extend their two-game unbeaten run, considering their opponents’ poor start to the season.
