Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Following back-to-back win over St Johnstone and Dundee FC, Kilmarnock will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Dundee in the Premiership round 21. The Killie are after their seventh home win of the process, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Midfielders Kyle Magennis and Innes Cameron should be the only absentees in the home team.
The Dark Blues, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 3-0 loss to Celtic, but given Kilmarnock’s signs of improvement, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Derek McInnes’ charges. Defender Antonio Portales continues to miss out with injury, whereas talented forward Zach Robinson is widely expected to return to the starting XI. In their last encounter in the Scottish top flight the two sides played out a 2-2 draw.
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.
