Hibernian WWDWLL

Hibernian will be hoping for a better result following a 3-1 Premiership loss in their previous game against Aberdeen.

For Hibernian, goals were scored by Christian Doidge (39') and Adam Jackson (64' Own goal). Andrew Considine (66') and Curtis Main (82') scored for Aberdeen.

It has been seldom in recent games that Hibernian have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that The Hibees have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 10 goals during that time.

Kilmarnock WLLLDL

Following on from a losing effort in their last game against Hamilton Academical in Premiership competition, Kilmarnock and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

Marios Ogkmpoe (90') was the scorer for Hamilton Academical.

Kilmarnock have been good when going forward in the lead-up to this encounter, scoring 9 times in their last 6 matches. While their manager Alex Dyer will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Killie have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same games. We will just have to find out if that trend will be continued on here.

🧠 Prediction

In our view, Kilmarnock could well find it tough to be putting a goal past this Hibernian outfit who will likely just have the edge.

Therefore, we predict a very even contest with a 1-0 win for Hibernian at full-time.

There should be little in it.
