Kilmarnock v Dundee: survival push meets mid-table buffer | OneFootball

Kilmarnock host Dundee in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday, 11 April 2026 at Rugby Park, with the hosts chasing points to pull away from the bottom while the visitors look to firm up a mid-table berth.

Dundee won the last two meetings this season, including a 2-1 Scottish Cup tie at Rugby Park in January, after an August league draw.

Kilmarnock recently beat Hearts 1-0 and Livingston 2-0 at home, but lost 3-0 at Hibernian. Dundee's run is mixed: a home win over Motherwell and draws with Hibernian and Dundee United, then defeats to Hearts and Celtic.

Neil McCann's team have scored 35 and conceded 63, but a 24.15% open play crossing accuracy could feed Tyreece John-Jules, who has eight Premiership goals. For Steven Pressley's side, Cameron Congreve has seven assists and Simon Murray six goals.

Both defences give chances. Kilmarnock concede two per game, Dundee 1.6, so width could be a route. The visitors cross frequently but at 15.74% accuracy, which Kilmarnock may look to defend before breaking.

Kilmarnock are 11th on 27 points. A win would take them to 30 and closer to the pack above. Dundee sit eighth on 32 and would reach 35 with victory, strengthening their mid-table cushion.
