Prediction: 1-1
St Johnstone
Sunday’s football game at Rugby Park pits together Kilmarnock and St Johnstone, the two teams who were beaten by Celtic and Aberdeen respectively at the weekend. The Killie failed to shock the reigning champions at Celtic Park, but they are seen as favourites to beat the Saints in front of home fans. Kyle Vassell is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts despite failing to find the net in the season opener, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
St Johnstone aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Aberdeen and seeing that Kilmarnock were in action in the Conference League on Thursday, we are tempted to place our bets on draw. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in four of the previous six meetings between the two sides. Midfielder Kyle Magennis should be the only absentee in the away 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.
