Hibernian take on the visitors Kilmarnock at “Easter Road” in the gameweek 22 of the Scottish Premiership. The match will be played in Edinburgh on Saturday, December 30th.
At the moment Hibernian occupy the fourth position in the elite division standings. The club looks a little bit unconvincing in face of its fans, having picked up 14 points with 15 goals for and 15 goals against in 10 home battles. It means that the side’s offense is strong enough while its defense leaves much to be desired. Hibernian gained only three points in three latest fights after two defeats from Rangers 1:2 and Aberdeen 1:4 as well as 2:1 triumph over Ross County in the round 21.

In their turn, Kilmarnock settle on the sixth place in the Premiership table. The team feels quite comfortable on the road, having got 14 points in nine away encounters. The club’s attacking line did their job well enough, having scored 11 goals, while its defense disappointed, having conceded nine goals. However, the side has left extremely favourable impressions in three recent games, having beaten Rangers 2:1, Motherwell 1:0 and deserved 2:2 draw against Ross County on the road. It can be said that Kilmarnock have recaptured an appropriate competitive form.
It is quite difficult to predict the favourite in the upcoming battle. The rivals are the neighbours in the elite division standings, meaning very serious and though fight. The clubs’ latest head-to-head was finished with 3:0 scoreline in favour of Hibernian, nevertheless, Kilmarnock’s current shape is much more promising, the side is in a better tonus and if it fails, the margin will be a minimal one.
Prediction for the match: Kilmarnock to win with +1.0 Asian handicap.
