This is a match in the Scottish Premier League, where Kilmarnock will be playing host to Rangers at the Rugby Park Stadium. The guest, Rangers are considered the big favourite to win this tie according to their head-to-head matches played together. Rangers hold the lions share of the head-to-head results between them, after having won 58 times in their last 79 matches in all competitions, with 13 draws and 8 losses. The last time both teams met at the Rugby Stadium was on 31/10/2018, in which the match ended in an early goal stalemate (1-1).
KILMARNOCK
The home team Kilmarnock is currently sitting at the 3rd position on the Scottish league standings, after having recorded a total of 12 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses, and thus accumulating 41 points in the process, since the start of the season. The Killie are coming to this game fully motivated and with the fact that they have incessantly won five games in a row, will surely prove to be a difficult task for the visitors to steal a point at the Rugby Park. The hosts are playing extremely well this season, and they are surely reaping that with a chance to win a ticket to qualify for the Europa League next season. All that they need do is just to maintain their current position along with creating a safe distance from the teams behind. For tonight's game, the home ground and the cheering of the fans will partly help them become more confident when playing against Rangers who are yet to lose a single game in their last six league matches.
RANGERS
The visitors, Rangers are currently sitting at the 2nd position on the league standings after having managed to record a total of 12 wins, 6 wins and 4 draws in their last 21 league games. For tonights clash against Kilmarnock, The Bluenoses needs to win at all cost just to move ahead in points against their biggest rival Celtic, who are yet again on the path of defending their 7th consecutive Scottish League Title. In their previous match, the Bluenoses managed to see off their arch-rival Celtic in a 1-0 win at the Ibrox Stadium. With that crucial win vs Celtic, the hope of reaching the 1st place was rekindled, so defeating Kilmarnock in the next match means that the team exerted great pressure on Celtic. And just a brief glimpse of what happens is that Rangers will be able to take the first place from the hand of the blue and white striped shirt team.
