From the beginning of the 2020-21 season, St Johnstone has secured more league victories against Kilmarnock (7) than against any other team. Following their 2-0 triumph in this fixture last season, Kilmarnock has the opportunity to achieve consecutive away league wins against St Johnstone, a feat not accomplished since December 2017 (when they had a run of 3). St Johnstone has recorded only one victory in their last 14 home league matches (4 draws, 9 losses), which was a 3-0 win against Ross County in October. This match also represents their sole clean sheet during this timeframe. Kilmarnock has secured only three wins in their last 29 top-flight away fixtures played during November (9 draws, 17 losses). Furthermore, they have been without a win in their most recent nine such games (3 draws, 6 losses) since a 1-0 victory at Hearts in 2018. Nicky Clark has contributed five of St Johnstone’s most recent 10 league goals, having successfully converted a penalty in each of the last two matches. The last Scottish player to score in three consecutive Scottish Premiership appearances for the club was Michael O’Halloran in August 2017, a sequence that notably featured a goal against Kilmarnock.
