Prediction: 1-1
Aberdeen
Kilmarnock will look to build on a 3-1 win over Livingston when they take on Aberdeen in Sunday’s matinee. The Killie did well to put an end to their six-game winless run, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but this will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. A man to watch in the home team will be Kyle Vassell, who scored a brace in the last league match, while midfielder Kyle Magennis continues to miss out with a hamstring problem.
The Dons, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous three league fixtures. Aberdeen have been showing signs of improvement of late and given their attacking potential, we predict that the visitors are going to grab something from Sunday’s encounter. Both James McGarry and Shayden Morris are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Kilmarnock):
Founded on January 5, 1869, Kilmarnock are the oldest professional club in Scotland. The Killie welcome their opponents at Rugby Park, the stadium with the artificial turf. The venue, which was opened back in August 1899, can hold up to 17,889 people.
Kilmarnock won their first and only Scotland Premier League trophy in the 1964/65 season despite being level on points with Hearts at the end of the season. Fellow Ayrshire club Ayr United are considered the Killie’s bitterest rivals. The two teams have been facing each other in the Ayrshire derby since September 1910.
Dark blue is the dominant colour of the club’s home kit, while Kilmarnock footballers wear yellow and blues kit when playing on the travels. The Killie recorded their biggest win back in 1896, with the team beating Saltcoats Victoria 13-2 in the second round of the Scottish Qualifying Cup. The club suffered their biggest defeat in August 1938 as they were hammered by Celtic 9-1 in the Scottish League Division.
