Prediction: 1-1
Aberdeen
Following a 1-1 draw with Motherwell, Kilmarnock will look to return to winning ways in the Premiership when they take on Aberdeen on Matchday 19. The Killie are undefeated in the previous three league matches, but they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to secure a top-six finish. Defender Joe Wright serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while experienced forward Marley Watkins is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match.
The Dons, on the other hand, are on a six-game winless run in the Premier League. Aberdeen aim to overtake Rangers in second place in the standings, but given Kilmarnock’s recent signs of improvement, there is a big value in betting on draw. Shayden Morris is pushing for a recall to the starting line-up, while duo Gueye – Mitov remains in the recovery room.
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.
