Recent respective form guides

Hibernian's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Hibees have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Kilmarnock's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The Killie's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 6 against.

Hibernian are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 19 points from 24 matches. Kilmarnock's total of 36 points from their 24 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier.
