Kilmarnock form and stats

0 wins, 0 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Kilmarnock, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Premiership, playing as the away team in the Premiership this season. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Kilmarnock are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Kilmarnock delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Hearts (placed 5th) in their previous fixture. Drawing 2-2 against Hearts after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager McInnes needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against St. Johnstone.
