Recent Form
An improving Kilmarnock side will represent a potential banana skin for Rangers, who can ill afford any further slip-ups if they’re to dethrone their Glaswegian rivals.
Following a run of seven straight league defeats as they scored just two goals, Killie’s last three outings have seen them down Ross County and Hearts by 3-1 and 3-2 scorelines, as well as hold Aberdeen to a goalless stalemate in cup action last time out.
Both Teams To Score
Alex Dyer has now had nine games at the helm and in the six during January, he’s got them scoring more goals. Putting six past fourth-tier outfit Queen’s Park was followed by efforts in defeats to Celtic and Kilmarnock.
Further, those recent wins over Ross County and Hearts suggest they’ve sorted out that department, even if they’ve also been conceding more as well. They’ve found the net in seven of their last nine at home now, averaging two per game, so there’s good reason to back them to score here.
Both teams have found the net in nine of Rangers’ last 13 on their travels. Although that includes some tough away matches in Europe, their past two on the road have seen them lose 2-1 to Hearts and win 4-1 over Hamilton.
Those may be the league’s bottom two sides, but it’s in defence where that duo has suffered and they’ve managed the same number of goals (25) in the league this season as Killie.
Nicke Kabamba To Score Anytime
Recent arrival Nicke Kabamba catches our eye amongst the potential goalscorers having netted in all three of Killie’s home games since signing from Hartlepool, including one against Celtic.
Although he wasn’t involved in any of their three goals versus Hearts in their most recent league game, he was a constant thorn in their side and appears to have struck up a decent relationship with strike partner Eamonn Brophy. Both are interesting options, but Kabamba gets our nod at the larger price.
The Gers should still take this game having won nine of 11 matches in all competitions since mid-December, but they’re too short to get behind at the prices.
Excluding a 2-0 victory over League One’s bottom side Stranraer, they’ve only managed to win by more than a single strike in two of the past eight.
One of those came courtesy of two late goals against lowly Hamilton in the cup on Saturday, so we’d avoid coupling both teams to score with the match result.
Both Teams To Score (Yes) At 6/5
0.5pts: Nicke Kabamba To Score Anytime At 11/2
