Prediction: 0-2
Hibernian
Saturday’s football game at Rugby Park pits together Kilmarnock and Hibernian, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the season finale. The Killie are on a three-game losing run in the Premiership, meaning that the lack of confidence should prove to be a big problem for them this weekend. Both Kyle Vassell and Stuart Findlay continue to miss out with injuries, while Kyle Magennis will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The Hibs, on the other hand, failed to spoil Celtic’s party at Celtic Park, but given Kilmarnock’s dip in form, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the visiting side. In the first half of the season, Hibernian defeated Kilmarnock 1-0, with Nectarios Triantis scoring the only goal of the match. Midfielder Joe Newell remains in the recovery room, but the 31-year-old should be the only absentee in the away team.
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.
