Recent respective form guides

Kilmarnock's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Killie have scored 5, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Hibernian's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The The Hibees's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 6 against.

Kilmarnock are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 12 points from 14 matches. Hibernian's total of 28 points from their 14 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier.
