St Johnstone face a tough task to secure their first Premiership win over Dundee since October 2024 when the sides meet this weekend. The Perth club's recent record in this fixture makes for difficult reading, as reported by AOL.
Dundee won the last encounter 2-0 at McDiarmid Park in May 2025, with Lyall Cameron scoring both goals. That result extended Dundee's unbeaten run to three league matches against St Johnstone. Over those three games, Dundee have scored six times while conceding just two.
What is St Johnstone's recent form?
St Johnstone's current league standing provides context for the challenge ahead. As of September 3, 2026, the Saints sit 8th in the Premiership with four points from four games, recording one win, one draw, and two losses. Their recent form reads DLLW, and they have scored six goals while conceding seven, leaving them with a minus-one goal difference. They are eight points behind leaders Celtic in the title race.
Their away form is a particular concern. St Johnstone have lost both of their Premiership away matches this season. Their last league victory on the road came back in February 2025, a 1-0 win against St Mirren. You can track their progress on our standings page.
How have Dundee performed at home?
Dundee's home form offers a mixed picture. They have one win and one loss from their two previous Premiership matches at Dens Park this season. This inconsistency means St Johnstone might find an opportunity, but they will need to improve significantly on their recent performances against this opponent.
The historical data shows a clear pattern. A win for Craig Levein's side would break a sequence of dominance for their opponents. The last time St Johnstone took three points from Dundee in the league was nearly two years ago.
What does the head-to-head record show?
The head-to-head statistics reveal Dundee's recent upper hand. Beyond the three-match unbeaten streak, the aggregate score of 6-2 in Dundee's favour highlights St Johnstone's defensive vulnerabilities in this specific fixture. Stopping Lyall Cameron will be a key objective for the Saints' defence, given his match-winning double in the last clash.

What comes next for St Johnstone?
Following the Dundee match, St Johnstone's attention will turn to their next Premiership fixture. They are scheduled to host Dundee United at McDiarmid Park on October 17, 2026. United currently sit 9th in the table, making it another important match in the congested middle of the league. Fans can find full details of this and all future matches on our fixtures schedule.
The team's ability to turn around their away form and secure a positive result against Dundee could provide a major boost ahead of that home game. Every point is valuable as the season develops.
