Recent respective form guides
Greenock Morton's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While The 'Ton have scored 4, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.
St. Johnstone's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Saints's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 6 goals for and 5 against.
Morton are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 24 points from 25 matches. St. Johnstone are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 41 points from 25 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the The 'Ton at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Saints come away with an easy victory. Away win
