Kilmarnock vs. Hibernian Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Kilmarnock and Hibernian, taking place on Sunday, 01 September 2024, at The BBSP Stadium Rugby Park in Kilmarnock.
Kilmarnock, Recent Form
Kilmarnock will not be too disheartened with their 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Aberdeen who sit 10 places above them in the table. They came away from that fixture with 42% of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Aberdeen managed 12 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
The last 6 games have been a mixed bag for them and the 4 points they have picked up belies their poor defending and unremarkable goal scoring of late, having only managed 2 goals whilst conceding 15 at the other end. Not only have they failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, but they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
Hibernian, Recent Form
Hibernian will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Dundee with a 2-2 draw and a valuable point. They achieved 50% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Dundee's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Their boss David Gray is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 12 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 6 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Martin Boyle will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Hibernian.
Kilmarnock vs. Hibernian Head to head
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 2-2 draw.
The last 4 matches between Kilmarnock and The Hibees show that Kilmarnock have let in at least one goal on each occasion.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at The BBSP Stadium Rugby Park in the league, but Kilmarnock will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings there.
