There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Premiership table so far. Here's the Kilmarnock - Hibernian latest:
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical 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 artifical turf is 3-2-4 (win-draw-loss) from nine matches.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Aberdeen are coming to town in three days.
