This could be an interesting match as Hibernian have their presumed home advantage while Kilmarnock are ahead 6 points in the Premiership table.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premiership. Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game! This pitch has grass, which is not Kilmarnock's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Kilmarnock have performed like this: 20 matches played resulting in 8 wins, 7 draws and 5 defeats with the goal stats 25-22 (scored/conceded).
