Kilmarnock, Recent FormThe 3-1 away defeat to Rangers will not have sat easily with the Kilmarnock squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They came away from that fixture with 39% of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Rangers managed 18 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Derek McInnes will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 8 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing at home, they have conceded a goal in 8 of their 11 games this season.
Being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 league matches at The BBSP Stadium Rugby Park, suggests a consistent run of home form, especially when we consider that 4 of these results were wins.
When it comes to home matches at The BBSP Stadium Rugby Park, Greg Stewart will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 5 league goals for Kilmarnock in their last 6 home games.
Hibernian, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 3-0 home defeat by Rangers, Hibernian manager Nick Montgomery will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. In that game they recorded 39 % of the possession, with 9 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 8 of their 22 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that Montgomery will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 11 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Results have been poor for Hibs recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Kilmarnock, losing 1-0 to Hibernian.
In each of the previous 3 matches against The Hibees, Kilmarnock have let in at least one goal.
Kilmarnock remains without a victory against Hibs in their previous 3 league encounters.
There is only really one injury concern for the Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes ahead of this clash, with Kyle Magennis (Hamstring) missing out, which gives McInnes a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Nick Montgomery has a number of injury concerns in his Hibs squad to contend with: Chris Cadden (Achilles tendon), Jake Doyle-Hayes (Ankle) and Adam Le Fondre (Hamstring)
