St. Johnstone and Hibernian look to reset on matchday 6
Sunday afternoon at McDiarmid Park sees St. Johnstone host Hibernian for a Premiership clash that carries significant weight for both sides. With the early stages of the campaign settling in, both clubs are eager to establish momentum and find consistency in their respective performances.
St. Johnstone are expected to field a forward line consisting of Josh Fowler, Ruari Paton, and Jamie Gullan as they look to test the visiting defence. The midfield trio of Samuel Stanton, Jason Holt, and Reece McAlear should provide the engine room, supported by a defensive unit featuring Enes Alic, Cheick Diabate, and Zach Mitchell in front of goalkeeper Toby Steward.
Hibernian arrive with a clear tactical intent, though they must cope without the injured Jordan Obita. The expected XI features Nathan Lowe and Martin Boyle leading the line, with a midfield quartet of Josh Mulligan, Jamie McGrath, Callum Wright, and Miguel Chaiwa tasked with controlling the tempo. Felix Passlack, Grant Hanley, Jason Kerr, and Kanayochukwu Megwa are expected to form the defensive line ahead of goalkeeper Raphael Sallinger.
St. Johnstone enter the match following a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Dundee FC last Wednesday. Assistant manager Willie Fowler has noted that the team has remained competitive throughout their recent outings and is now focused on translating that intensity into a positive result on their home turf.
Hibernian, meanwhile, are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Heart of Midlothian on 3 September. Manager David Gray has publicly taken responsibility for the recent form, emphasizing that his side must become more clinical in front of goal to match the quality of the chances they are creating.
Manager David Gray has signalled that Hibernian will maintain their attacking philosophy rather than retreating into a more cautious setup. The focus remains on building player confidence and improving the final touch, a necessity given that the team has conceded five goals in the final quarter-hour of their matches during their last ten outings.
St. Johnstone appear content to continue their current trajectory, viewing this match as a natural progression of their recent efforts. By maintaining their competitive edge, they aim to frustrate a Hibernian side that is clearly searching for a clinical edge to reward their attacking intent.
Recent meetings between these two sides have often been decided by fine margins, though Hibernian held the upper hand in their most recent encounter with a 3-0 victory in March 2025. St. Johnstone will be looking to replicate the resilience they showed in their 2-1 win over the same opponents in April 2024, a result that proved they can break down the Hibernian structure when at their best.
With the opening of the new Muirton Lounge at McDiarmid Park, the atmosphere is expected to be lively for this Sunday fixture. Whether Hibernian can shore up their late-game defensive lapses or if St. Johnstone can find the breakthrough to reward their persistent play will likely determine the outcome of this matchday 6 tie.
