Championship: Two squads in decent form get together for this game. Kilmarnock have a small edge with their 3rd position in the table?
- Partick Thistle have the most clean sheets (11) in Championship
- Kilmarnock have the fewest conceded goals (14) in Championship
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Kilmarnock have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 7-4-25 (win-draw-loss) from 36 matches.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
