Recent respective form guides

Kilmarnock's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Killie have scored 5, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Hibernian's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. Hibees have conceded 13 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.

Kilmarnock are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 21 points from 20 matches. Hibernian see themselves just below half way in the Bank of Scotland Scottish Premier, showing a record of 22 points from their 20 games played so far,

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Kilmarnock at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Killie will at least gain a draw. No-score draw

Sequence statistics:
Kilmarnock	Failed to win in previous 3 home matches.
Hibernian	Lost each of the previous 2 away matches. Not won in previous 2 away matches. An overall losing run of 2 games. No win in the 2 most recent games.
