On Sat Apr 22nd, St. Johnstone hosts Hibernian at Mcdiarmid Park in a clash of the Premiership. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, St. Johnstone recorded a 0-2 loss against Livingston. Jon Nouble scored the first goal for Livingston in the 23rd minute, then Stephen Kelly added another in the 38th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed St. Johnstone couldn’t manage to score, and Livingston took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10, while in their last match, 6th placed Hibernian, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Hearts. Kevin Nisbet struck first for Hibernian in the 67th minute on a feed from Paul Hanlon, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Hearts was frustrated by Hibernian’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Hibernian ended the match with the shutout victory. Hibernian is looking for direction having 5 win and 4 losses in their last 10 matches.
