Rangers vs Kilmarnock Prediction: Struggling Rangers will take advantage of weak Kilmarnock

The Scottish Premiership encounter will be back toIbrox Stadium, where Rangers will play Kilmarnock. The last meeting between these sides ended in a win for Kilmarnock. How will Rangers respond in this fixture?

Rangers' last encounter was against St Johnstone, and they pulled off a hard-fought victory. In that encounter, the Rangers had 61 percent of the possession and attempted 17 shots with ten on goal. However, in a game that ended 0-1, Jason Holt's own goal in the 63rd minute was the difference of the day. In the meantime, Rangers head into this game with an unbeaten run of six matches, winning four and drawing two. With 26 points, Rangers are seated 3rd in the standings, scoring 18 goals and conceding 9. 

Kilmarnock took on Dundee FC the previous weekend and could only take a point. In that encounter, Kilmarnock had to come from behind to avoid a defeat, thanks to 19-year-old Bobby Wales' 80th-minute strike. However, prior encounters to that draw saw Kilmarnock lose to St Johnstone, Celtic, and Dundee FC. In those matches, Kilmarnock scored twice while conceding six. This season, Kilmarnock have accumulated 13 points from 14 games, leaving them seated 10th spot. 

Rangers have not played up to expectations this season, and it is tough not to bet for them this season. However, Kilmarnock are just way below par in their last games, losing consecutive matches. This is a close game from the outlook, as Kilmarnock are expected to be very solid defensively. Yet, at home, I expect Rangers to exploit Kilmarnock's weak defense, win each half, and while netting two goals.
