Kilmarnock

LLLLLD 📉

In their previous game, Kilmarnock drew 1-1 in the Premiership tie with Dundee United.

In that game, Kilmarnock had 46% possession and 11 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Kilmarnock was Bruce Anderson (34'). Dundee United had 11 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Craig Sibbald (63') scored for Dundee United.

It is worth noting that Kilmarnock have made hard work of scoring goals in their past 6 encounters, netting the disappointing return of only 3. In those matches, Killie have also seen the collective goal tally of opposing teams equal 14. That kind of trend won’t necessarily follow through into this game, however.

Coming into this fixture, Kilmarnock are without an away win for the past 3 league matches.

📰 Team News: Hearts

Beni Baningime (Hamstring injury), Calem Nieuwenhof (Hamstring injury), Finlay Pollock (Hamstring injury) and Ageu (Hamstring injury) will be missing for Hearts manager Derek McInnes.

It looks as if The Jam Tarts should employ a 4-4-2 formation for this game, handing starts to Alexander Schwolow, Oisin McEntee, Craig Halkett, Stuart Findlay, Stephen Kingsley, Harry Milne, Cameron Devlin, Blair Spittal, Alexandros Kyziridis, Lawrence Shankland and Claudio Braga.

📋 Team News: Kilmarnock

Kilmarnock boss Stuart Kettlewell has to choose a team with limited availability. Matty Kennedy (Hip injury) and Djenairo Daniels (Knee injury) are not ready for selection.

It’s our belief that Killie seem likely to make use of a 3-5-2 system with a starting lineup of Toby Oluwayemi, Ethan Schilte-Brown, Lewis Mayo, Robbie Deas, James Brown, Scott Tiffoney, Brad Lyons, David Watson, Dominic Thompson, Bruce Anderson and Marley Watkins.

✨ Prediction

In our opinion, Kilmarnock should have enough to score against this Hearts side, although that possibly won’t be as many as they’ll concede.

We can see a close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Hearts after 90 minutes. Expecting it to be very competitive.
