Prediction: 1-1
Hearts
Kilmarnock will look to kick-off their Championship group campaign in style when they take on Hearts on Saturday afternoon. The Killie are eyeing their third consecutive league win, but they will have a big fish to fry against Hearts. Joe Wright is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a 2-0 win over St. Johnstone, while Kyle Magennis remains in the recovery room.
The Jambos, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over St. Mirren and Livingston. Hearts and Kilmarnock seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. All Craig Halkett, Peter Haring, and Liam Boyce are out of contention with injuries, while Calem Nieuwenhof remains doubtful. In their last meeting in the Scottish top flight the two sides played out a 1-1 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.
