Prediction: 1-0
Motherwell
Rugby Park will host Saturday’s football game between Kilmarnock and Motherwell, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Premiership standings. The Killie aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to St. Johnstone and you should bear in mind that they are eyeing their third consecutive win in front of home fans. Midfielder Kyle Magennis remains in the treatment room, but the 25-year-old should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Well, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their five-game winless run in the Scottish top flight. Considering that Motherwell collected only one point in total from the last five league matches, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Kilmarnock. Defender Pape Souare continues to miss out with an ankle injury, but there are no other selection worries in the visiting 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.
