Recent respective form guides
Kilmarnock's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Killie have scored 8, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.
Hearts's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The Jambo's's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 7 goals for and 5 against.
Kilmarnock's 52 points from 37 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position. Hearts find themselves in a respectable 4th position, courtesy of the 61 points they have accumulated from 37 games.
