Model CS-4Methodology

Match analysis

Dundee carry three days' rest into their Premiership meeting with St Johnstone on 2 September against the visitors' four, and Superior backs Over 1.5 goals at 1.31, a 64 percent pick. Dundee have scored in four of their last five matches, including a 4-0 win over Clyde and a 2-0 win over Aberdeen.

Dundee have scored in four of their last five

Dundee's recent form includes a 2-0 away win at Dundee United, a 2-0 home win over Aberdeen and a 4-0 win over Clyde, with their only blank a 3-0 defeat away at Aberdeen in the reverse fixture. St Johnstone have been even more open at the other end, conceding in four of their own last five and drawing a wild 4-3 with Kilmarnock, the kind of profile that keeps goals flowing at both ends rather than shutting the game down.

St Johnstone's one clean sheet came at Inverness

The way an Over 1.5 pick fails is a repeat of St Johnstone's 1-0 defeat at Inverness Caledonian Thistle, their only match this run to finish with a single goal or fewer. Dundee's extra day of rest disadvantage against a St Johnstone side that has drawn 1-1 as recently as three weeks ago means a cagey opening goal followed by nothing else is the specific way this line comes closest to failing, even if it remains the less likely outcome given both sides' broader scoring habits.
