⭐ Editorial Prediction
Considering the current form of both teams and Kilmarnock's home record, where they've lost five of their last six matches, along with Hibernian's confident performances, an away victory seems likely. The high-scoring encounters involving both teams suggest we could witness plenty of goals at Rugby Park, given the attacking potential on both sides and their last head-to-head ending in a 2-2 draw. However, our editorial team is backing a Hibernian victory, which could mark David Gray's side's third consecutive win and keep them in contention for a top-three finish.
