📰 Team News: Kilmarnock
From a largely healthy group of players, there’s only the sole fitness issue for the Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes to be concerned with. Stuart Findlay (Ankle injury) won’t be playing here.
🧠 Prediction
We believe that St Johnstone will have to play well to hit the back of the net against this Kilmarnock lineup who should manage to score & go ahead.
We’re therefore anticipating a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 victory for Kilmarnock when all is said and done.
Should be an interesting one.
