History of the Kilmarnock v Falkirk fixture

Kilmarnock prepare to entertain Falkirk at Rugby Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Killie are clearly on top, having won 42 and lost only 11 of the 76 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Rugby Park was less than a year ago, in May 2009, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Premier match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Kilmarnock at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Killie will at least gain a draw. No-score draw

Falkirk Not won in previous 10 away matches.
