Kilmarnock vs Dundee Predictions

Killie set for three points

Kilmarnock look set to continue their good form when they host Dundee at Rugby Park on Saturday. Derek McInnes’ side have won their last two home games in the Premiership and are the likely winners.

Kilmarnock are ninth in the table, one place and four points above Dundee, but both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season. The hosts have 11 wins and 16 defeats, while the visitors have ten wins and 18 losses. In the 51 games between teams in the bottom half of the Premiership table, 25 (49%) have been home wins.

Kilmarnock kept up their recent winning trend with a 2-0 away win against St Johnstone last weekend, despite having just 31.5% possession. Kilmarnock, who were priced as 13/10 favourites, triumphed with something to spare in this excellent result.

It would be no surprise to see Kilmarnock score, having found the net in seven of their last eight league games. They have scored at least twice in three of their last four Premiership matches.

Kilmarnock are hitting their stride, having won three of their last four Premiership games. They have led at half-time in each of those victories and come into this match on the back of two consecutive wins.

They have defended well recently, keeping out their opponents in three of their last four Premiership games.

Dundee have been in patchy form recently, with three wins and three defeats in their last six Premiership games. Their biggest-priced win in that run was when they beat Hearts 1-0 at odds of 5/1, but it also included a heavy 4-0 loss to Hibernian.

They have been disappointing defensively away from home this season in the Premiership, conceding 35 goals in 17 road games – an average of just over two goals per game.

No Premiership team has played more matches with fewer than three goals this season than Kilmarnock’s 20, and a 1-0 home win looks the best correct-score option.
