Hibernian vs Kilmarnock Prediction & Match Preview

Hibernian return to Easter Road on Sunday looking to build on their strong league start after a midweek setback in Europe. Can they bounce back with another three points, or will Kilmarnock prove tricky once again?

Hibernian were eliminated from the Champions League qualifiers after a narrow 2-3 loss on aggregate to Midtjylland, but they have already picked up a solid 2-1 win away to Ross County on opening weekend. Despite that win defensive weakness remains, they have now conceded in each of their last three matches.

Kilmarnock began their league campaign with a frustrating 2-2 draw at home against newly promoted Livingston. While their attack looked lively, they gave up a late equalizer and continue to struggle for clean sheets, a theme from last season as well.

In last season h2h meetings, under 2.5 goals landed in all three encounters. Two of those games also saw both teams score, including a 1-1 draw the last time they met at Rugby Park. While Hibernian came out on top in one of the three fixtures, these clashes were usually tight and cagey.

Who Will Win the Match Between Hibernian and Kilmarnock?

Hibernian come into this one with a bit more rhythm, having already played two competitive matches this season. The home crowd could be a big factor here, especially as Kilmarnock tend to struggle on the road. While Kilmarnock are capable of nicking a result, Hibernian momentum and attacking depth give them the edge in this encounter.

Will Both Teams Score in This Match?

Yes, both teams have been conceding goals regularly and look stronger going forward than at the back. Hibernian have allowed goals in three straight matches, while Kilmarnock could not keep out Livingston at home. Both teams getting on the scoresheet looks like a strong bet based on current form.

Hibernian vs Kilmarnock Prediction

Hibernian strong start and home advantage make them favourites to secure all three points here. Their attack looked lively in the win over Dundee FC, and they will aim to carry that form into this match.

Over 2.5 goals is a solid pick here also, as both teams have scored and conceded in their opening fixtures. Defensive gaps should create chances at both ends.

A 2-1 Correct score for Hibernian looks likely. Kilmarnock can find the net, but the host quality should see them edge it.
