St Johnstone vs Hibernian

Why it qualified

The case as it was frozen at lock, point by point.

• Hibernian enter the fixture missing key defensive personnel: centre-back Jack Iredale is suspended following a red card, Jordan Obita is doubtful after exiting injured after 29 minutes in his last outing, and Rocky Bushiri is sidelined with an Achilles tendon injury (CL-ad7ab3c7-215, CL-88b86a1b-7ab, CL-3d658765-382).
• St Johnstone report no fresh injury or suspension concerns entering the match and have reinforced their squad by signing midfielders Joel Cotterill and Josh Campbell on transfer deadline day (CL-edb3fef8-857, CL-bd93ba53-208, CL-e3c03b29-b98).
• Through four Scottish Premiership matches, St Johnstone have accumulated 4 points (1W, 1D, 2L, 6 GF, 7 GA), trailing Hibernian on 6 points (2W, 0D, 2L, 6 GF, 7 GA), making the fundamental team gap narrower than market pricing implies (CS-44d2e704-f86).

At 3.150, the market requires St Johnstone to win this fixture at least 31.75% of the time to break even, against a consensus de-vigged fair win probability of 33.15%.

Risks / what could change

Deadline signing Josh Campbell is likely contractually barred from playing against his parent club Hibernian under competition loan rules, muting the anticipated midfield reinforcement impact.

• Standard Scottish Premiership loan regulations generally prevent loanees from playing against their parent clubs, making deadline recruit Josh Campbell likely ineligible to face Hibernian (CL-119aca91-757, CL-86302be9-7e2).
• The 3.150 quote at sportsbet sits as an outlier against a 53-operator median of 2.820, reflecting high dispersion (11.70%) near the model's threshold ceiling.
• Hibernian carry positive historical form at McDiarmid Park, having suffered only 2 losses across their last 13 league visits to St Johnstone and winning their last 4 consecutive away league matches (CS-2ba02ada-cf6).

A published position is a research view, not a claim of certainty. Every position can lose.
