Kilmarnock vs Aberdeen Prediction: A shocking win for Aberdeen is expected

Rugby Park will host the Scottish Premier League encounter between Kilmarnock and Aberdeen. The two teams could not secure a win in their last league game. How will this game unfold? Below, I will provide a match analysis with betting options. 

Kilmarnock played Motherwell the previous weekend and settled for a 1-1 draw. In that game, Kilmarnock needed to come from behind to avoid a defeat, thanks to Liam Polworth's strike in the 74th minute. However, Kilmarnock did not lose their last three matches, picking a point against Dundee United while defeating Hearts. Kilmarnock have one win in their previous eight games, losing four and drawing three. Kilmarnock in the league has 18 points from 18 matches, averaging a point per game. In those matches, this team scored 19 goals while conceding 35. 

Aberdeen's last game was against Hibernian, losing 1-3. In that game, Aberdeen saw an early lead from Topi Keskinen's strike overturned by Thody Elie Youan, Nicky Cadden and Martin Boyle strikes for Hibernian. However, Aberdeen have failed to win any of their last six matches. Aberdeen lost to St. Mirren and Celtic in that run while drawing Hibernian, Hearts and St Johnstone. With 34 points from 17 matches, Aberdeen are seated third in the league standings. In that run of games, Aberdeen scored 31 goals while conceding 21. 

Aberdeen have struggled, and they look like a different side we saw in the season's early stages. However, I am not impressed with Kilmarnock's performances so far this season either, which does not make them a good side to pick in this game. While you could make a case that it will be tough for Aberdeen to win here on the road following a very poor run of games, I believe their chances are high in every game. Hence, a win for the visitors. While Kilmarnock has been good offensively, a bet on both teams scoring is a good option, with Aberdeen also struggling defensively.
