St Johnstone hosts Hibernian in a Scottish Premiership fixture as both teams look to improve their standing. St Johnstone aims to secure back-to-back home wins to start a league season for the first time since the 2017-18 campaign, following a 4-3 victory over Kilmarnock. Hibernian arrives in search of a fifth consecutive away league victory, a feat the club has not achieved in the top flight since 2005. Historically, Hibernian holds an advantage in the series, having lost only two of their last 13 visits to St Johnstone. However, St Johnstone seeks to break a four-game winless streak against Hibernian in league play, dating back to a victory in April 2024. The match will provide an indicator of momentum for both sides early in the current season.

Hibernian have won each of their last four away league games and could win 5+ in a row on the road in the top-flight for the first time since November 2005 (run of six).
