Hibernian v Kilmarnock: unbeaten run meets winless league start | OneFootball

Hibernian face Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership at Easter Road Stadium, with the hosts aiming to extend a five-game unbeaten run in all competitions and the visitors seeking their first league points after two defeats.

Hibernian have had the better of this fixture recently, winning 3-0 at Easter Road in April and 3-1 in Ayrshire in January.

The Hibees are unbeaten in five across all competitions, a sequence that includes a 2-1 victory at Rangers plus cup results against Shkëndija and Partick Thistle. Kilmarnock have lost both league matches, 4-3 at St Johnstone and 5-1 to Celtic, though they edged past Ayr United 3-2 in the League Cup.

Hibs have scored three and conceded three in two league outings, with 37% possession and 80.15% passing accuracy so far. They could look to release Martin Boyle and Josh Campbell in transition, while Kilmarnock's attack has produced four goals but a defence that has shipped nine may leave openings. Joe Hugill and Greg Kiltie are threats, and Tom Lowery has supplied two assists.

Hibs sit seventh on three points and a win would take them to six and could move them into the top half. Kilmarnock are 12th without a point. A positive result may lift them off the bottom and get their campaign moving.
