No away win in three for Killie at Easter Road
Hibs are odds-on favourites to defeat Kilmarnock at 49/100 on Tuesday, with Killie at 23/5 to grab the win and the draw at 18/5, so the home team are rightful favourites to win.
David Gray has Hibs set up to be versatile and controlled, as they can play a back three or back four with wing-backs and always build up from the back in the same way, but they can also be patient and threatening from set-pieces. Their matchups with Killie usually go their way, as the Ayrshire club are a bit blunt in their approach to the game and Neil McCann's side are still a club built around width, direct transitions and crosses from the flanks.
Hibs have made a shaky start to the Premiership 2026/2027 and sit 8th in the table with 6 points from their opening 5 games. Kilmarnock are a place below in 12th, with only 1 point from their first 5.
Gray’s team can boss it like in 2025/2026
Hibs are on a two-game losing streak coming into this home fixture following a 1-3 defeat by Hearts and a 2-1 defeat away at St. Johnstone in the most recent round of Premiership 2026/2027 matches. Killie arrive at Easter Road after two home defeats to Dundee United and St Mirren were followed by a 0-0 draw away to Aberdeen. Gray's Hibs appear to be on a downward trajectory, but they beat Kilmarnock 3-0 at home in the same competition during the 2025/2026 season and could boss this game if they get going early. Killie have been blunt on the road so far, with one draw and one defeat in two away games and only three goals scored on the road, so they aren't coming into this clash in great shape.
Hibs’ Wright and Killie’s Schjoenning-Larsen have goals in them
Hibs have scored 1.00 and conceded 2.50 goals per game at home in the opening two rounds and the head-to-head certainly leans the home side's way with three wins and two draws from the last five meetings and no Kilmarnock win.
While this is looking like a Hibs lean, both teams have been a bit patchy of late, so the odds are a little low for the hosts, but there's also a chance that this game could remain tight for spells as Killie can make it tough at times.
A smart alternative angle is to go Over 2.5 goals at 1/2 as it fits Hibs' open home numbers and Killie's direct style in which they often hit the byline and put in dangerous crosses or set-pieces.
Hibs' Callum Wright has popped up with two goals in four Premiership 2026/2027 games so far and looks like their sharpest edge in the final third, while Kilmarnock's Michael Schjoenning-Larsen has supplied two of Killie's four goals in their last five competitive games, so back him to be their livewire on Tuesday.
