The hosts are at the foot of the table with 24 points from 28 matches, while the visitors are 11th in the standings with 27 points from their 28 games played.
We say: Dundee 1-2 St Johnstone
The hosts may boast the home advantage in this matchup, but the visitors are enjoying a much greater run of form and have a favourable record at this ground, leading us to expect an away win.

Rangers will look to build on their first victory under interim boss Barry Ferguson as they take on top-six chasing Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday afternoon.
The hosts triumphed over Kilmarnock in Ferguson's debut as caretaker manager, while the visitors secured a 2-1 triumph over Dundee in Michael Wimmer's first game as their new boss.
We say: Rangers 3-1 Motherwell
While Motherwell will take confidence from their victory in Wimmer's debut, Rangers will be equally uplifted by their own triumph under Ferguson, and with the added advantage of playing at home, we expect a victory for the hosts.

Two teams operating in the bottom half of the Scottish Premiership table will come together on Saturday afternoon as Ross County host Kilmarnock at the Global Energy Stadium.
The hosts are ninth in the standings with 32 points from 28 games played, while the visitors are 10th in the table with 31 points from their 28 fixtures.
We say: Ross County 2-1 Kilmarnock
Ross County have been utterly dominant against Kilmarnock, particularly at their home ground, and with Killie's dismal away record this term, we expect a victory for the hosts.

St Mirren will aim to strengthen their charge for a top six finish in the Scottish Premiership when they face league leaders Celtic at the Smisa Stadium on Saturday.
The hosts are seventh in the standings and trail sixth-placed Hearts by just two points, while the visitors hold a 13-point lead at the top of the league table.
We say: St Mirren 0-3 Celtic
Celtic are undoubtedly the stronger team heading into this game, and given St Mirren have failed to defeat the Bhoys since September 2022, we expect a comfortable victory for the away team.
