📰 Team News: Kilmarnock

The Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes doesn’t have any fitness worries whatsoever before this match thanks to a completely healthy group available to choose from.

It looks as if Killie will probably opt for a 3-5-2 system for the game, utilising Will Dennis, Lewis Mayo, Robbie Deas, Stuart Findlay, Daniel Armstrong, David Watson, Kyle Magennis, Brad Lyons, Tom Davies, Marley Watkins and Matthew Kennedy.

ℹ️ Team News: Hibernian

Hibernian boss Nick Montgomery has to choose a team with limited availability. Joe Wollacott (Thigh Problems), Dylan Levitt (Ankle Injury), Harry McKirdy (Heart Condition) and Chris Cadden (Achilles tendon rupture) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

It’s our belief that The Hibees could decide to elect for a 4-3-3 formation, settling for David Marshall, Lewis Miller, Will Fish, Paul Hanlon, Lewis Stevenson, James Jeggo, Joe Newell, Josh Campbell, Martin Boyle, Dylan Vente and Élie Youan.

We’re of the view that Hibernian and Kilmarnock should play out a closely-fought contest here.
