Competition: Scotland Premiership
Date: Sat 11.May
Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Rugby Park (18128 seats)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Kilmarnock are in the 3rd position while the guests worry at 5th.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Hibernian have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 3-2-2 (win-draw-loss) from seven matches.
