Just a few days ago, everything at Hearts seemed to be going according to plan, as the team managed to qualify for the group stage of the Conference League and was on a streak of four consecutive victories in the championship. However, earlier this week, they suffered a defeat in their clash with Falkirk and will now visit Kilmarnock, who can be a tough opponent.
Kilmarnock stabilizes its defensive performanceAt the beginning of the season, Kilmarnock had a rough time and suffered four consecutive losses, but then they started to find their feet, followed by a goalless draw, and just a few days ago, their first win, albeit by a narrow margin. It is certainly noticeable that Kilmarnock has stabilized their defense quite a bit, and in the last two matches, they haven't conceded a goal. This could prove to be a challenge for Hearts. And let's not forget that the last clash between the two teams, which was towards the end of last season in Scotland, ended with a victory for Kilmarnock.
Prediction: Under 3.5 goalsI believe that especially as the home team, Kilmarnock will aim to challenge their otherwise more skilled opponent. This will mainly be achieved through their defensive play and the effort to avoid conceding easy goals. For this reason, I feel that the match will not offer a high scoring outcome, and my prediction will be for under 3.5 goals.
