- Hibernian form: Hibernian FC have won 1 of their last 5 matches (W1, D1, L3) following back-to-back defeats to Hearts (1-3) and St. Johnstone (2-1) in the Premiership 2026/2027.
- Kilmarnock form: Kilmarnock have also been in poor form, winning just 1 of their last 5 (W1, D1, L3), and arriving here on the back of consecutive home defeats to Dundee United and St. Mirren.
Hibs have the edge in home turf matchup
Hibs have won 3 of their last 5 matchups with Killie and can nick Tuesday's game at home turf, but the odds aren't quite right for a straightforward bet. David Gray's side have made a shaky start to the campaign, so the 1.49 about the hosts looks a touch short.
Killie are coming off a couple of defeats but have lost just 1 of their 2 away Premiership 2026/2027 games and will be hoping to spring a surprise.
Killie are in poor overall form, having won just one of their last five in all competitions (W1, D1, L3), and arrive at Easter Road on the back of successive home defeats to Dundee United and St. Mirren, prior to a 0-0 away draw with Aberdeen in the last round of Premiership 2026/2027 games. Neil McCann has come in to steady the ship but his side look to be the same Killie from last term, with width and a cross-heavy approach still the norm.
Hibs are sitting 8th in the table with just 6 points from 5 games compared to Kilmarnock in 12th with 1 from 5 and both sides will have something to prove in this midweek matchup. Hibs are coming into this game on the back of back-to-back Premiership 2026/2027 defeats at home to Hearts (1-3) and away to St Johnstone (2-1) and look to have taken a slight drop in form after an impressive start to the season.
Killie are a blunt attacking side on the road
Killie have been blunt on the road so far, managing only 1 draw and 1 loss, and having scored just 3 times in two away trips. Hibs are the clear favourites to win this one, and have won 3 of their last 5 meetings with Kilmarnock, but both sides are in patchy form and the pricing isn't quite there for a confident bet on the hosts.
Over 2.5 goals at 1.5 appeals as a smart wager on this one, as Hibs have open home numbers and Killie are likely to play direct. Hibs have been more disciplined with possession and set-piece play, and can use their wing-backs to get wide of Killie, who can pose a threat from set-piece situations.
Hibs have the sharpest edge in the final third
Key players
Hibs won the last home H2H 3-0 in Premiership 2025/2026 and should have the capability to dominate this matchup, but Kilmarnock have an away day curse to shake off after failing to win any of their last 3 away games at Hibernian.
- Callum Wright has been Hibs' most reliable goal scorer this season, with 2 goals from 4 Premiership 2026/2027 appearances and looks their sharpest edge in the attacking third.
- Greg Kiltie has been Killie's most efficient striker with 1 goal in 5 Premiership 2026/2027 appearances, while Tom Lowery has been the most creative, providing 2 assists.
- Michael Schjoenning-Larsen is Killie's livewire player, however, with 2 goals in his last 5 appearances, and should be a constant threat to the Hibs defence on Tuesday.
