Hibernian vs Kilmarnock Predictions

• Both teams have scored in just two of Kilmarnock’s last ten games
• Killie have won just one of their last 13 Scottish Premiership away matches
• Hibs have kept a clean sheet in their last six home games against Kilmarnock

Belgrade win a huge boost for Hibs

It has been a decent start to the season for Hibs and they will be confident they can build on a couple of decent wins by beating Kilmarnock at Easter Road on Sunday.

The Edinburgh outfit kicked off their league season with a 2-1 win at Dundee last week and then followed that with an impressive 2-0 Conference League success at Partizan Belgrade on Thursday.

Admittedly, the Serbians were forced to play the final 55 minutes with ten men, but the quality of the Hibees’ defending was strong.

Having restricted Dundee to an expected-goals (xG) figure of just 0.14, David Gray’s side should be confident of keeping a clean sheet against Killie.

Kilmarnock could struggle to keep up

The Rugby Park outfit allowed a two-goal lead to slip against new boys Livingston on Saturday following George Stanger’s 65-minute red card, but they could struggle to find the net after drawing a blank on their last six visits to Easter Road.

Hibs should be galvanised by their European success and are rightly favourites to come out on top, but it is worth chancing that they can keep a clean sheet and, in a fixture that usually fails to generate many goals, a 2-0 home win is put up for those looking for a correct-score interest.
