by Steve Ashfield in Scottish Premiership Predictions
Ninth-placed Kilmarnock end their Scottish Premiership season with a home game against Hearts who are seventh. This is a match in the Relegation Group but Killie and their opponents are both safe from the drop. Here's our match prediction.
Kilmarnock are eight points above the relegation places and five below their opponents. They need to bounce back from their midweek 3-0 defeat at Motherwell. That loss ended a run of three successive league wins.
Their home form has been strong of late. Each of their last three home league fixtures have been won and before that they drew 1-1 with second-placed Rangers. Two clean sheets have been kept in their last three home Scottish Premiership fixtures.
A win over Hearts would be their tenth home league victory of the season.
Hearts are seventh in the table and enjoying a strong finish to the season. Their last three Scottish Premiership matches have all ended in victory, most recently a 2-1 home win over St Johnstone.
Earlier this month, they won 3-1 at Ross County. That ended a run of three away league games without a win. Hearts have won five away league games this season but been beaten in nine. We tip both teams to score in this match.
