Kilmarnock - Hibernian predictions

Though Kilmarnock are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

The odds are stacked heavily against Hibernian here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Kilmarnock are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 3.70.

Kilmarnock’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Rangers as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 3:1 loss for Kilmarnock.

Hibernian’s latest Premiership performance against Rangers ended in a harsh 0:3 defeat, though that’s not saying a lot about their current form. They never had much of a shot despite the home-field advantage, and their opponents dictated the pace of the whole game.

The home-pitch advantage appears to be quite important for Kilmarnock. Their last 3 fixtures at home were crowned by more than 5 goals in total.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Premiership outings.

With a loss to Hibernian on the record, the home team’s status of clear favourites is brought into question. They lost a Premiership match earlier in the season, which came as a surprise to bookies and punters alike.

Saturday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 3.44 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
