Match Preview: St Johnstone | 05/05/24

It's a quick turnaround for Boroughmuir Thistle as we are back in action on Sunday afternoon after Wednesday night's comfortable victory over Stirling University.

St Johnstone are the visitors to Meadowbank in a huge game between two sides separated by only four SWPL 2 points.

Thistle sit in fourth place on 35 points and the visitors are just behind on 31, as Boroughmuir seek crucial points with a third place finish still a possibility.

We are unbeaten against the Saints so far this season - a goalless draw in March followed a 1-0 Thistle win in Perth and a 2-0 home victory at Meadowbank.

The visitors come into this one on a run of three successive losses, most recently losing out 1-0 to Queen’s Park in Perth. Thistle, on the other hand, haven't tasted defeat since the 17th of March and returned to winning ways with Wednesday's comfortable 4-0 victory.
