Kilmarnock form and stats

Kilmarnock have collected 8 points from their Premiership home games so far after 2-2-1.

Kilmarnock's last game was hosting Livingston (placed 7th) and winning 3-1. A big relief, as that was the first league win after going winless in seven consecutive games. Vassell, who usually features in attack, was the top player for the side in that match, scoring a rating of 8.32 (out of 10). Vassell scored two goals and hit the woodwork once.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Celtic (1-3).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Kilmarnock have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 10 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 4 and lost 3.

Both teams to score! That has occurred in 5 league games in a row for this club. Will it happen again?

Kilmarnock are traveling soon after this match as the Premiership match at St. Johnstone awaits in three days.

The Kilmarnock fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches.

Aberdeen form and stats

The visitors are W1-D2-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Premiership.

A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting St. Johnstone in the Premiership.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Premiership trip to Motherwell.
