Rangers vs Kilmarnock Prediction & Betting tips
In the Scottish Premiership, the fifth matchday is on the program this weekend. However, a look at the current table shows a crooked picture, because five of the twelve teams have not yet played four games due to postponements. The current championship leader is the Gerrard-Elf from Glasgow. The team wants to maintain its place in the sun and is aiming for the fourth win of the season in the duel against Kilmarnock on Saturday afternoon.
“The Gers” suffered the first loss of points in the goalless draw against underdog St. Johnstone last weekend. Nonetheless, the 54-time Scottish champion is the big favorite on Sunday.
These bets are not particularly lucrative, in our game preview both teams are examined more closely and a lucrative betting option is presented. The game at Ibrox Stadium starts on Saturday afternoon at 15:00 p.m.
Glasgow Rangers:
The big goal of Celtic Glasgow this season is the tenth title win en suite – Steven Gerrard’s protégés want to prevent this by all means. The last championship trophy so far was won in 2011 before the financial collapse drove the club out of the league. For three years now, “The Gers” have been the second power in Scotland and each time they have the runner-up championship.
In the third year under the ex-world-class footballer, the long-awaited title win should finally succeed. At least the start of the new season was promising and made fans dream of winning number 55. The Gerrard-Elf won the first three games without conceding a goal.
The sparkling white vest got its first small black spot last weekend. In the away game against St. Johnstone goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin was able to keep his box clean again, but despite oppressive superiority, he did not succeed in his own goal.
The game ran as if on an incline, which is clearly demonstrated by 78 percent possession, a shot ratio of 33: 3, a goal shot ratio of 23: 2 and 10: 0 corners. But Morelos & Co despaired of the strong Livingston goalkeeper Stryjek.
Due to the extremely dense framework calendar, the actors in the 2020/21 season are facing a real mammoth program. It is therefore all the more important to have a broad squad so that many English weeks can also be rotated. “The Gers” did their homework with flying colors and were not only able to keep the regular players, but also with Cedric Itten (St. Gallen), Kemar Roofe (RSC Anderlecht), Ianis Hagi (fixed commitment after loan) or Leon Balogun (Wigan Athletic) guide well-known actors to Scotland.
The enormous width of the squad is a great asset and can be proven by five different goalscorers with seven hits. The most dangerous attacker is without a doubt the Colombian Alfredo Morelos (two goals, two assists).
Kilmarnock:
The football department was founded in 1870 and celebrated the greatest success in history with the sensational title win in 1965. In addition to the championship, there are also three surprising cup wins (most recently in 2010). The “Killie’s” have been represented in the Scottish Upper House since the 1993/94 season. The third place in the table 2018/19 was by far the strongest season in the 21st century.
After the successful coach Steve Clarke left the club to become Scottish national coach, the Killie’s wanted to hire a well-known coach in Gus Poyet, who, however, gave the club a pass. The final choice fell on Alex Dyer, who previously worked as an assistant coach under Clarke.
However, Kilmarnock was never able to build on the strong performances from the previous year in the past season. As is well known, the season was canceled three game days before the end, at which point Kilmarnock had a proud 25 points less on the credit side, scored 15 fewer goals and received 13 more goals. All in all, the club had to be satisfied with the disappointing eighth place in the table.
Dyer continued to be trusted, but the start of the second year in office is also not going according to plan. Kilmarnock is also one of the seven teams that have already played four games, but they haven’t won yet. In the four previous games, the “Killie’s” achieved two draws and two defeats.
It is noticeable that the problems on the defensive are still clearly visible, but the offensive game is far more pleasing than last year. In all four games, bets on goals from both teams were crowned with success.
