Hibernian, Recent FormHibernian will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their away outing against St Mirren. During that encounter they had 61% possession and had 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 8 shots on goal.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 8 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. When playing at home this season, Hibernian has notched up a tally of 5 clean sheets, highlighting the struggle some of their opponents have had to break through on goal.
They have had a good run of form recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Kevin Nisbet will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 6 goals in the last 6 league outings for Hibernian.
Kilmarnock, Recent FormThe Kilmarnock squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-1 away defeat against Livingston, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 54%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Livingston had 12 shots on goal with 7 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 4 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 11 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 9 away games out of 13 this season, Derek McInnes will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards. They have shown some defensive frailties on the road of late, having given away at least 1 goal in 12 of their past 13 away league matches, making points very hard to come by.
An away win for Kilmarnock is just a distant memory, having not won on the road in 16 games.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 1-0 win for Kilmarnock.
Hibs have managed to keep a clean sheet against Killie in each of their previous 2 meetings at Easter Road Stadium. Killie have let in at least one goal in each of their last 4 league matches at Easter Road Stadium against Hibs. Kilmarnock have struggled to break down The Hibees defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
Playing at home, Hibs have won the last 3 and are unbeaten in the last 8 times they have faced Kilmarnock in the league.
Hibs manager Lee Johnson has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Martin Boyle (Bruised knee), Rocky Bushiri (Broken ankle), Jake Doyle-Hayes (Knock), Mykola Kukharevych (Knee) and Kyle Magennis (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Derek McInnes has a number of injury concerns in his Kilmarnock squad to contend with: Innes Cameron (Hamstring), Ben Chrisene (Knee) and Jeriel Dorsett (Unknown)
