Kilmarnock vs Ross County Prediction & Preview

Preview

This Saturday, 6th April, the Scotland Premiership is set for an intriguing clash as Kilmarnock hosts Ross County at Rugby Park in the 32nd round of action. With both teams looking to solidify their positions in the league, this match promises to be a compelling showdown.

Kilmarnock, under the guidance of Derek McInnes, have been showing strong form as they sit comfortably in 4th place with 45 points. Their recent performance has been fairly balanced with 2 wins, 1 loss, and 2 draws from their last five matches. Notably, Kilmarnock's home advantage could play a significant role; they boast an impressive average of scoring 2.2 goals per game at Rugby Park while conceding just 0.8.

On the other side of the pitch stands Ross County led by Don Cowie. Despite finding themselves near the bottom at 11th place with only 27 points to their name, they've shown signs of resilience. Their form mirrors that determination with two victories but also reflects inconsistency through two losses and one draw recently.

The historical head-to-head encounters between these two sides have been evenly matched – each claiming two wins apiece alongside a single draw in their last five meetings. The most recent encounter ended in a goalless draw back on November 25th last year at Global Energy Stadium.

Both teams come into this match following draws; Kilmarnock held Hearts to a stalemate away from home while Ross County suffered a narrow defeat against Aberdeen on their travels.

Given Kilmarnock's stronger position in the league and notable home scoring statistics against Ross County's struggle for goals away from home (averaging just .4 per game), this match sets up an interesting dynamic where both will be eager to claim vital points.
