Kilmarnock vs Hibernian Preview

A draw was the best Kilmarnock could muster in their previous three games. They claimed a 0-0 draw against Hearts, before getting trounced 2-1 against Motherwell. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Ross County ran out 0-1 winners. Hibernian go into a new season as candidates for the podium, but will count themselves lucky to achieve more than a third place. Kilmarnock won three of their previous six matches at The BBSP Stadium, Rugby Park in the Premiership. They drew zero and suffered three defeats, scoring seven goals to seven against.

Hibernian suffered a couple of disappointments in their last three matches as they were run over by Livingston in a 2-3 defeat. Aston Villa also proved too hard to handle as they won 3-0, before Hibernian were able to strike back in a 0-2 win against Aberdeen. A title race would require all stars to align, but sneaking inside the top four and hopefully also collect a medal certainly isn’t beyond Hibernian, should they manage to catch a strong momentum. Hibernian managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Premiership. On top of winning once they also drew three as well as losing two, while scoring six time and letting in six.
