Saturday's Scottish Premiership predictions including St Johnstone vs. Celtic

Dundee vs. Aberdeen (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Aberdeen will head to Kilmac Stadium at Dens Park on Saturday afternoon to face Dundee for matchday six of the Scottish Premiership, looking to maintain their flawless start to the season.

The hosts have won one, drawn three and lost one of their opening five fixtures, while the visitors have won all five of their league games.

We say: Dundee 1-4 Aberdeen

Aberdeen have appeared unstoppable in the early parts of 2024-25, while the hosts have struggled in recent outings, suggesting this one will be a comfortable win for the visitors.

Hearts vs. Ross County (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Hearts will host Ross County at Tynecastle Park on Saturday in the Scottish Premiership, still searching for their first win of the 2024-25 season.

The hosts sit bottom of the table with just one point from five fixtures, while the visitors are in eighth with six points from one win and three draws.

We say: Hearts 1-1 Ross County

Although Hearts have had a dreadful start to the 2024-25 season, Saturday's match will be their first under new management following Naismith's sacking, and we anticipate an immediate response with a draw in this game.

Kilmarnock vs. Dundee Utd (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Struggling Kilmarnock welcome Dundee United to Rugby Park in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday, when both teams will be looking to get back to winning ways.

The hosts come into this game on the back of three consecutive draws, and for the visitors, after a solid start to their campaign they have since lost consecutive league games.

We say: Kilmarnock 1-2 Dundee United

Kilmarnock have endured a difficult start to their campaign and their underlying stats are also a cause for concern heading into this weekend's game.

Despite Dundee United coming into this game on the back of two consecutive defeats, we would expect them to get back to winning ways here at the expense of Kilmarnock.

Motherwell vs. St Mirren (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Aiming to bounce back from defeat last time out, sixth-placed Motherwell will host fifth-placed St Mirren at Fir Park on Saturday in the Scottish Premiership.

The hosts have won two, drawn one and lost two to accumulate seven points from five outings, while the visitors have won two, drawn two and lost two in six league fixtures.

We say: Motherwell 1-1 St Mirren

These two sides have had extremely comparable beginnings to the 2024-25 season and appear evenly-matched heading into this game, suggesting this one will end all square.

St Johnstone vs. Celtic (Saturday, 5.45pm)

Tenth-placed St Johnstone are set to host Scottish Premiership league leaders Celtic at McDiarmid Park on Saturday, hoping to deliver an unexpected defeat to the visitors.

The hosts are winless in five matches heading into this one, while the visitors are yet to drop points across all competitions.

We say: St Johnstone 1-4 Celtic

These two teams have experienced sharply contrasting starts to their 2024-25 seasons, with St Johnstone struggling while Celtic have been dominant in every game they've played.

We anticipate that this trend will continue on Saturday, resulting in a significant victory for the visitors.
