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 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

St. Mirren's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Buddies have hit 6 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Kilmarnock see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 22 points from their 17 games played so far, St. Mirren see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 18 points from their 18 games played so far,

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

Sequence statistics:
Kilmarnock	12 games since last home draw. Not drawn a match in their last 18 .
St. Mirren	11 games since last away draw. Last drawn game 8 outings ago.
