Dunfermline vs Kilmarnock Predictions

• Dunfermline went unbeaten at home in League One last season (W10, D8).
• Killie lost five of their final seven Premiership away games.
• Dunfermline are unbeaten in six including pre-season games.

Hosts look backable underdogs

Dunfermline entertain Premiership outfit Kilmarnock in the League Cup on Saturday and may be able to pull off a minor upset in front of their own fans.

The hosts secured promotion to the Championship last term as they claimed the League One title in convincing fashion.

Dunfermline’s success was in part due to their exceptional home form as they went unbeaten in the league, winning 10 of their 18 games, and they can make the most of home advantage this weekend.

Kilmarnock lost five of their final seven home games and lost twice against a low standard of opposition in pre-season, so at a big price a home win appeals here as our main bet.

Dunfermline have only conceded one goal across their last seven competitive home games and when Kille do lose away they generally fail to score. The visitors have drawn blanks in six of their last nine away defeats.

A 2-0 win for the home side appeals as the Pars have scored at least twice in each of their last 12 competitive victories.
