History of the Kilmarnock v Aberdeen fixture

Aberdeen face a trip to Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Dons will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 2 thriller, in a Scottish League Cup match.

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.

Aberdeen's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Dons have hit 7 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 19 points from their 16 games played so far, Aberdeen's 21 points from 16 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.
