Prediction: 1-0
Hearts
Kilmarnock will try to put an end to their six-game winless run in the Premiership when they take on Hearts on Matchday 17. The Killie have a chance to overtake a couple of teams in the standings and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s clash. Both McCrorie and Vassell are rated doubtful for the hosts after limping off with injuries in a 1-1 draw with Dundee United, with duo Watkins – O’Hara being ready to step up.
The Jambos, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Dundee FC, but tired legs could prove to be a big problem for the visiting side. As Hearts head into the Rugby Park clash following the Conference League clash with Copenhagen, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Defender Frankie Kent is unlikely to feature for the visitors after limping off with injury in the midweek defeat.
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.
