Heart Of Midlothian vs Kilmarnock Prediction - 3rd December 2025

The league leaders Heart Of Midlothian host bottom-half side Kilmarnock in what looks like a mismatch on paper. Hearts sit top of the Premiership with 31 points from 14 games, boasting an impressive home record of 80% wins and scoring 2.40 goals per game at their own ground. Their defensive record is stellar too, conceding just 0.40 goals per home game with a 60% clean sheet rate. Kilmarnock's away form tells a completely different story. They've managed only 25% wins on their travels, scoring a mere 1.00 goal per game while shipping 2.50. Their recent results include a 0-3 loss to Hearts in the reverse fixture, plus defeats to Celtic (0-4) and Motherwell (1-3). With only 11 points from 14 games, they're firmly in the bottom half of the table. The head-to-head record shows Hearts won 3-0 when these teams met in October, and that result reflects the current form gap. Hearts have been solid defensively with 6 clean sheets in their last 10 games, while Kilmarnock have kept only 2 in the same period. Statistically, Hearts dominate across the board - more shots (14.60 vs 10.56), better possession (52.4% vs 40.8%), and superior shot accuracy at home (43.3%). The goal expectancy figures heavily favor the home side (2.45 vs 0.70), suggesting another comfortable victory is on the cards. While the home win at 1.33 seems likely, the Both Teams To Score No market at 1.75 offers better value. Given Hearts' defensive solidity and Kilmarnock's attacking struggles on the road, a clean sheet for the hosts appears highly probable.
