The Premiership season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Rangers and Kilmarnock promises to be an interesting one.

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!

15-11-15 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Kilmarnock when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 41 matches are 45-51 (scored/conceded).

Kilmarnock form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Premiership for Kilmarnock with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

Kilmarnock failed to get anything from their last game, a Premiership home match vs St. Johnstone (placed 7th) that ended with defeat 1-2. Before that, Kilmarnock travelled to Ross County and returned home with a draw after the game finished 2-2.

Kilmarnock were so close to getting something from the game against St. Johnstone, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal four minutes into overtime.

With the home team given a winning probability of about 80% by the bookmakers, any positive result for the visitors would be a surprise. Checking earlier matches with similar odds with Kilmarnock as the away team, we found one results. Statistics from these were zero away wins, zero draws and one defeat. The outsiders lost one of these games by at least two goals.

Kilmarnock have the goal stats of 3-4 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head
