Saturday, at 15:00, the 33rd round of the Scottish Premier League schedule an unbalanced duel between Kilmarnock and St. Louis. Johnstone. The hosts are on the wave in Scotland and have a noticeable absence sign, while guests are devoid of many basic players and have a form of disappointing moment. Alston, Hendry, Keown, Wotherspoon and Wright will not be able to play.
The atmosphere on Rugby Park will be an electrifying, because Kilmarnock have a season far beyond expectations, including dreaming of qualifying in the UEFA Champions League preliminaries! Black and White is ranked No. 3 in Scotland (go 44-28) and has 6 points to be recovered to second place, occupied by Glasgow Rangers. Rangers just lost the Celtic derby and a series of poor white-blue results could re-launch the podium!
With one of the best defensive players in the first Scottish league, Kilmarnock receives a team that lost 4 of the previous 5 stages. St. Johnstone is in the 8th position in the standings (30-42 Golaveraj) and lost half of the trips this season. Kilmarnock is very strong on his own, with 9 wins and 4 failures in 15 stages (only 12 goals). Last milestone, Kilmarnock made a strong demonstration with Hamilton, winning 5-0 thanks to Taylor, McAleny, Burke, Mulumbu and Ndjoli.
In a tactical 4-3-3 offensive, Kilmarnock managed to get a goalless goal in 3 of the previous 4 stages, managing to draw with Motherwell (0-0) and Rangers (1-1), but also a success on the pitch to St. Mirren (1-0). St. Johnstone comes after a 0-3 away at Motherwell. In fact, the failures with Livingston (1-3), Hibernian (1-2) and Aberdeen (0-2) showed us the white-blue weaknesses that did not defeat Kilmarnock in the last 4 straight duels. In these 4 matches I witnessed a single goal scored by St. Louis. Johnstone, in a 1-2. Otherwise, Kilmarnock won two games with 2-0 and the match of the championship tour ended 0-0. There is a difference in form and value between the two bands, and the odds are attractive.
PREDICTION: Kilmarnock to win @ 1.85
