Montrose vs Kilmarnock Predictions

• There are two divisions between these two teams in the Scottish pyramid
• Both teams have scored in all three Scottish Cup ties involving these two sides
• Kilmarnock ran out 3-1 winners when these two sides last met in 2021

Side with SPL Kilmarnock in this one

These two sides last met in the Scottish Cup in the covid hit 2020/21 season where Kilmarnock ran out 3-1 winners on the day. Following Kilmarnock’s promotion to the SPL there are now two divisions between these two teams and there is every chance Saturday’s contest goes the same way as last year’s meeting. Kilmarnock drew to Partick Thistle on Wednesday and ended up with just a solitary point after losing on penalties. Derek McInnes will be keen for his side to build some momentum heading into the SPL season and they have been afforded a great opportunity to return to winning ways against part-time Montrose.

Every chance both teams find the net

Twelve goals have been scored in the three Scottish League Cup ties involving these two teams this season – both teams have scored in all three of those contests. Montrose ran out 4-2 winners against Fraserburgh in their opening match of the competition and will be keen to put up a good showing against their SPL rivals. Both teams scored in the 2021 meeting between these two teams and there is plenty of evidence to suggest that feat will repeat itself on Saturday.

Kilmarnock to Win and Both Teams to Score will be the main selection for this Scottish League Cup clash at Links Park. The SPL side are expected to have too much quality for their part-time opposition to cope with. The correct score prediction for Saturday’s game will be for it to end 3-1 to the visitors.
