LiontipsKilmarnock vs Rangers. Prediction and bets on the match of the Scottish Championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Kilmarnock had a dreadful start to the season and were winless until October 5, when they finally managed to beat Dundee 3-2. The hosts were 2-0 down until the 86th minute, but then miraculously turned the game around, scoring three goals in less than ten minutes. Perhaps this victory will give Derek McInnes side some strength.
Most likely, the club dismal start is connected with its performance in European competitions. The club began its European campaign in the Europa League, but quickly dropped out, losing to Belgian Cercle Brugge (1:1 and 0:1). In the Conference League, they managed to get through one round, beating Norwegian Tromso (2:2 and 1:0), but then the team failed to compete with Danish Copenhagen (0:2 and 1:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Kyle Magennis will miss the fight due to a muscle injury.

They failed to build on their success - in the second round, the club suffered a crushing defeat from French Lyon (1:4).

3.65Tip and bets
Kilmarnock have not lost in their last five matches, but their opponents were much lower level than Rangers. Philippe Clement men are almost faultless in the national championship - they have managed to win three times in a row without conceding a single goal. This year, the opponents have already met three times and Rangers have won all three matches. Frankly, we do not think that the hosts will be able to create a sensation. The victory should go to the favorite.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Rangers for 1.80
Bet on total
Despite not the most successful results, Kilmarnock is doing well in attack, although it often forgets about defense. In the last three matches, the team scored eight goals. In face-to-face matches against today opponent, Killie also regularly score. The visitors will certainly take advantage of the opponent weakness in defense and will be able to punish the hosts' defense more than once in counterattacks.
The second bet is total over three goals with odds of 2.02
Bet on the first half
It is worth noting that in eight of the previous nine matches involving the hosts, more than one goal was not scored in the first 45 minutes, as was the case in the last three Rangers matches. We think all the most interesting events on the field will unfold after the break.
Forecast - total goals in the first half under 1.5 with odds of 1.55
