Dundee United can achieve a historic away double over St Johnstone when they travel to McDiarmid Park for a Scottish Premiership fixture on Saturday. The Tangerines have won four of their last seven league visits to Perth and now stand on the brink of back-to-back away victories there for the first time since April 2012.
Jim Goodwin's side, who sit fourth in the Premiership with 13 points from eight games, arrive with momentum after two consecutive league wins. Their most recent result was a 1-0 home victory over Hibernian on 10 October, secured by a Daniel Bennie goal. That win moved them eight points behind leaders Celtic and stays in the top half of the standings.
St Johnstone's losing streak
St Johnstone are looking to end a three-match losing run against Dundee United in the top flight, their longest such streak since a four-game sequence between 2001 and 2002. The hosts will be desperate to avoid a third straight defeat to their Tayside rivals.
Building on recent form
United last won three league games in a row in April 2025, a run that also included a victory over St Johnstone. The team's current form of two wins from their last four matches shows they are capable of putting a consistent run together. Key contributors like top scorer Jesse Randall, who has two goals this season, will be central to their chances. The full squad available for selection is detailed on our squad page.
The match kicks off at 17:00 on Saturday, 17 October 2026, on the ninth matchday of the Premiership season.
