Our prediction for this Scottish Cup match:
Kilmarnock and Dundee United face each other at Rugby Park in the Scottish Cup round 32. The Killie set up a meeting with the Terrors by beating Queen’s Park on the road, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Saturday’s football match. Both Mackay and Murray are pushing for a start, while top scorer Oliver Shaw will be the man to watch in the home team.
Dundee United, on the other hand, are on a six-game losing run in the Premiership, and seeing that they head into the match with the lack of confidence, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. To make things even worse for the visiting team, all Biamou, Smith, and Fotheringham are out of contention with injuries. In their last meeting at the venue Kilmarnock rolled over Dundee United 3-0, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
