Kilmarnock will win
Kilmarnock have lost three of their last four matches but, in spite of that, we are backing them to win here. Their form at home has been much better than their general form suggests where they've lost just one of their last five games winning three and drawing the other one. Hearts meanwhile have lost three of their last five away games. On top of that look at recent home and away form trends, we can also refer to the head to head record of the sides; Killie have won each of the last five clashes between the sides with Hearts' last win coming way back in early 2019!
Someone will fail to score
Our second tip for this game sees us backing at least one side to blank in the match. Three of Kilmarnock's last five games have seen at least on side fail to score with Killie blanking twice and keeping one clean sheet in those games. Hearts meanwhile have seen none of their last five games end with goals at both ends; they've fluffed their lines in front of goal on three occasions and kept two clean sheets in that period. Finally, the head to head record shows four of the last five meetings between these sides have seen at least one side fail to hit the net.

Can Hearts overcome Killie to break into top half?
Both of these sides are in the bottom half of the Premiership standings right now and both will be desperate to pull themselves away from that situation. Killie have hope after winning their last match whilst Hearts will be keen to win after suffering heavy defeats in back to back games.
Kilmarnock come into this match with a couple of players ruled out through injury, they are midfielder Fraser Murray, who has missed the last two games, and striker Scott Robinson. In brighter news, Liam Donnelly and Ryan Alebiosu could be back in the squad.
Kilmarnock Predicted lineup – Hemming, Mayo, Taylor, Stokes, Chrisene, Power, Alston, Armstrong, McKenzie, Jones, Lafferty
Unlike Kilmarnock none of Hearts' injured players are due back for this game, which means they've got a few who will miss out here. Most notable amongst those is probably Robert Snodgrass but Cameron Devlin's absence shouldn't be overlooked either; he was red carded against Rangers last time out.
Hearts Predicted lineup – Gordon, Smith, Neilson, Kingsley, Cochrane, Humphrys, Forrest, Kiomourtzoglou, McKay, Grant, Shankland
