Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Rugby Park will host Saturday’s football game between Kilmarnock and Aberdeen, the two teams who shared the spoils with Celtic and Hibernian respectively in their last league matches. The Killie are undefeated in the previous four league matches and their display in the Celtic Park draw is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of upcoming challenges. All Brad Lyons, Robbie Deas, and Kyle Magennis are sidelined with injuries for the home team.
The Dons, on the other hand, are eager to put an end to their seven-game winless run in the Scottish top flight. Aberdeen have been showing signs of improvement up front of late and given Kilmarnock’s fine form, we believe that gamblers from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. Both Slobodan Rubezic and James McGarry are out of contention with injuries for the away side.
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.
