Team news
Ria McCafferty was named in the SWPL Team of the Week following last weekend’s goalless draw with Kilmarnock, so the defender will be hopeful of continuing her rich vein of form when St Johnstone come calling. This marked the fourth time that a Boroughmuir Thistle player has received the Team of the Week accolade this season.
At the other end of the pitch, Becky Galbraith is aiming to regain fitness ahead of this weekend’s clash after being forced off with an injury in Kilmarnock.
The opposition
St Johnstone currently sit bottom of SWPL 2 following four losses and one win in their opening five league matches.
With a goal difference of -16, they have been on the end of some heavy defeats in recent weeks, including a 7-0 home loss at the hands of Hamilton last Sunday. However, their 4-2 away victory over Ayr United earlier this month proves that Thistle will be in for a tough encounter on their own patch.
Previous meetings
Boroughmuir Thistle edge the overall head-to-head, with eight wins to St Johnstone’s five since 2014, and there have also been five draws.
In our four meetings last season, Thistle went undefeated against the Saints (three wins, one draw) and ultimately finished one place ahead of them in the league.
