Scotland - Scottish League Cup
Prediction :
Over 2.5
St. Johnstone plays host to Raith Rovers at McDiarmid Park in the fourth round of the Scottish League Cup. St. Johnstone are in second place in Group F, while Raith Rovers are in third. Here's our match prediction.
St. Johnstone are still going strong in the Scottish League Cup. In their most recent match, they faced Inverness. They lived up to the billing as favorites as they won 1-0 on the road.
However, that triumph didn't come on a silver platter, as they had to sweat to achieve that result. The first half ended in a goalless draw, but it wasn't until Uche Ikpeazu, off the bench, broke the deadlock in the 90th minute.
The Saints have now won two consecutive matches in this tournament, when you take into account their 3-1 away win against East Kilbride in the first round.
Raith Rovers started the Scottish League Cup strongly. They had the pleasure of defeating Elgin City 5-1 away from home. Dylan Easton was the standout player, scoring two goals from the spot.
However, the Rovers failed to build on that momentum in the second round against minnows East Kilbride at home. In that match, they suffered a 4-2 defeat.
In light of that defeat, they now find themselves three points behind the top two in Group F.
