The Premiership league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 6th and 9th respectively.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Hibernian play their home games on grass, while this game is played on artificial turf. Recent stats for Hibernian when playing on artificial turf are 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats from eight matches. They have scored 13 goals and conceded 14 times in these games.

Kilmarnock form and stats

Two Premiership home games so far for Kilmarnock, who are yet to win here at Rugby Park. Only 1 point so far.

Happy days for Kilmarnock in their previous game, a Premiership match away at St. Johnstone (placed 12th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Before that, Kilmarnock drew at home versus Aberdeen.

This is expected to be a close game, with Kilmarnock perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kilmarnock as a small favourite), we find seven games. Kilmarnock has won 2 of these, drawn 3 and lost 2.

Kilmarnock has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Hibernian form and stats

It's not happening yet for Hibernian on their Premiership travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Hibernian seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

It might be tough going out on the road again for Hibernian, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus Motherwell (placed 5th). A draw for Hibernian before that, at their own venue hosting St. Johnstone (2-2).

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Hibernian in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Hibernian, 1 draw and 3 defeats.

Hibernian have the goal stats of 1-9 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Kilmarnock-Hibernian H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Kilmarnock 3 wins, Hibernian 3 wins, 4 draws. 5 of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
