Weekend preview in numbers

We take a look at some of the numbers ahead of the weekend games in the SPFL, with key matches across all four divisions.

18 Celtic head for McDiarmid Park to play St Johnstone on Sunday - live on Sky Sports at 12.30pm - on the back of an 18-game winning streak in the Ladbrokes Premiership, most recently 1-0 against Aberdeen in midweek. Brendan Rodgers' side are 25 points clear at the top of the table and, ironically, the only fixture they didn't win was a 2-2 draw at Inverness Caley Thistle, who are currently bottom of the table, in September.

9 Dunfermline Athletic have the second-best current unbeaten streak in the SPFL, having gone nine matches without losing in the Ladbrokes Championship since a 1-0 reverse at Tannadice in early November. Allan Johnston's men have climbed to sixth place and have a huge match this weekend - victory away to fourth-placed Falkirk in the derby would see them move to within five points of the play-offs.

11 Hibernian have the best defensive record in the country, conceding only 11 goals in 22 Championship matches. That solidity has seen them open up an eight-point lead over Dundee United at the summit. Neil Lennon's men kept three clean sheets out of three in the league in January and host an Ayr United side who, despite winning at Easter Road early in the season, haven't managed a Championship victory since beating Queen of the South 1-0 on October 22.

6 In an incredibly tight Ladbrokes League 1, only six points separate second-placed Alloa Athletic and Peterhead, who occupy eighth spot. Alloa are at home to a Livingston team who have an 11-point lead at the top of the table – David Hopkin’s men will take some stopping after winning 15 of their 21 games but the race for the play-offs looks set to go the distance.

50 Only Celtic (60) have scored more SPFL goals than Elgin City. Jim Weir's men reached that landmark with a 3-1 home win over Edinburgh City last week and travel to bottom club Cowdenbeath on Saturday. Elgin have rattled in 23 goals in their last seven League 2 outings and in Shane Sutherland they have the SPFL's top scorer, with 17 league goals.
