Fraserburgh vs Kilmarnock Predictions

• Fraserburgh ply their trade in tier five, four below Premiership Kilmarnock.
• Kilmarnock are as yet unbeaten during their pre-season schedule.
• Kilmarnock carry momentum into this clash after winning the Championship last season.

A tough encounter for Fraserburgh

Fraserburgh came agonisingly close to breaking into the top-four tiers of the Scottish pyramid last season, albeit failed at the final hurdle in the play-offs. Now they must begin another gruelling season in the Highland League with a League Cup encounter with newly-promoted Kilmarnock, which is no easy task for the minnows.

Kilmarnock enjoyed a fine 2021/22 campaign and having won promotion back to the top-flight as league winners, they enter this season opener as overwhelming favourites for the win. Inspiring further confidence amongst Kilmarnock fans and players alike is their unbeaten pre-season schedule, so they will look to continue that momentum into their competitive opener.

With four tiers separating these sides, we can see no other outcome than a Kilmarnock win, but with the odds on offer the only way to squeeze value from that is in the handicap market. As such, we are going for a -1 Kilmarnock win, perhaps by a commanding 3-0 scoreline.
