Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Kilmarnock and Hamilton go head to head at Rugby Park in the Scotland Premiership round 23. The Killie head into the match following a 1-1 draw with St. Mirren, and a win over Hamilton will see them move a little closer to top six. Both Dicker and Millen are likely to miss Saturday’s clash through injuries. The Accies, on the other hand, did remarkably well to crush Motherwell 3-0 in their last league match, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence.
Hamilton aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but seeing that they have already suffered six defeats on the road this season, we are tempted to put our money on Kilmarnock this time out. Experienced defender Brian Easton misses the game through injury, which is yet another reason why punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on the hosts.
