Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
In-form Hibernian will look to extend their winning run to four games when they take on Kilmarnock in the Premiership round 20. The Hibs look unstoppable at the moment, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but Kieron Bowie remains in the recovery room.
The Killie, on the other hand, rolled over Aberdeen 4-0 on Boxing Day. As both sides looked sharp up front in their last league matches, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Bearing any fresh injury worries, Derek McInnes is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Dons. In their last meeting in the Scottish top flight, the two sides played out a 1-1 draw, but a high-scoring affair is on the cards at Easter Road this time out.
Highlighted Team (Hibernian):
Founded in August 1875, Hibernian are the Scottish Premier League team that play home matches at Easter Road. The capacity of the venue is 20,421, and it was opened in 1893. The Hibs wear light green shirts with white sleeves and white shorts in home matches, while light grey is the dominant colour of their away kit.
Hibernian clinched their first Scottish league trophy back in the 1902/03 season, and they were the dominant force in Scottish football in the early 50s, securing three titles more from 1948 to 1952. The Easter Road outfit recorded their biggest win on September 3, 1881, with the team rolling over Black Watch Highlanders 22-1.
In February 1961, the Hibs suffered the biggest defeat in the club's history as they were beaten by Airdrie 11-1. Hibernian and Hearts face each other in the Edinburgh derby. The rivalry between the two clubs is considered one of the oldest rivalries in world football.
