Recent respective form guides

Hibernian have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. Hibees have conceded a disappointing 8 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 2 of their own chances.

Kilmarnock's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Killie have hit 5 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Hibernian are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 27 points from 33 matches.

Kilmarnock see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 37 points from their 33 games played so far,

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Hibernian at home in recent games, and, though we cannot see a run starting here, we do think the Hibees will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
