History of the Hibernian v Kilmarnock fixture

Hibernian prepare to entertain Kilmarnock at Easter Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Hibees are clearly on top, having won 48 and lost only 16 of the 86 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2004, with Hibernian running out comfortable 3-0 winners in a Scottish Premier match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its a close one to call, but I think that Hibees's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past Kilmarnock. Home Win

Hibernian 5 games since last home draw.
Not drawn a match in their last 5 .
