• Fixture: Kilmarnock vs Aberdeen

• Date: Wednesday, 29 October 2025

• Kick-off: 19:45 GMT

• Venue: Rugby Park

Kilmarnock's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, but they've shown they can hold their own at home at times. After a tough loss against Celtic, they bounced back with solid wins against St. Mirren and Dundee Utd. They'll need to be sharp and take advantage of their home turf to overcome Aberdeen's challenge. Expect Kilmarnock to come out with a high press and look to exploit any gaps in Aberdeen's defence.

Aberdeen have had their ups and downs too, but they've shown they can score when it counts. Their recent wins against St. Mirren and Dundee were convincing, but they'll need to tighten up at the back after a couple of away losses. Aberdeen will likely try to control the midfield and hit Kilmarnock on the break. It's going to be a tight contest, but Aberdeen's attacking flair could make the difference.

Kilmarnock's recent form has been mixed, with two wins and three losses in their last five games. They've struggled against the bigger teams like Rangers and Celtic, but managed to secure solid victories against St. Mirren and Dundee Utd. Playing at home could give them the boost they need, but they'll need to be more consistent if they want to get a result against Aberdeen. Their defence will need to be on top form to keep Aberdeen's attackers at bay.

• Loss: 1-3 vs Rangers (A)

• Loss: 0-3 vs Hearts (H)

• Win: 2-0 vs St. Mirren (H)

• Win: 2-0 vs Dundee Utd (A)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Celtic (H)

Aberdeen have had a mixed run lately, with two wins and three losses in their last five matches. Their victories against St. Mirren and Dundee were impressive, showing they can be a force to be reckoned with. However, their away form has been a concern, losing to Motherwell and Dundee Utd. If they can sort out their defensive issues, Aberdeen could come away with a win at Kilmarnock. Their attacking players will be key to breaking down Kilmarnock's defence.

• Loss: 1-2 vs Hibernian (H)

• Win: 1-0 vs St. Mirren (A)

• Win: 4-0 vs Dundee (H)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Motherwell (A)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Dundee Utd (A)

The head-to-head record between Kilmarnock and Aberdeen has been competitive recently. Aberdeen have won two of the last five encounters, while Kilmarnock have won three.

• Predicted lineup: Beach (GK), Mayo (DF), Stanger (DF), Deas (DF), Brandon (DF), Watson (MF), Kiltie (MF), Lyons (MF), Thompson (MF), Anderson (AT), Dackers (AT)

Kilmarnock's predicted lineup suggests they'll rely on their solid defence and midfield to control the game. With Watson and Lyons in the middle, they'll look to dominate possession and create chances for Anderson and Dackers up front.

• Predicted lineup: Mitov (GK), Devlin (DF), Knoester (DF), Milne (DF), Jensen (MF), Palaversa (MF), Armstrong (MF), Molloy (DF), Aouchiche (AT), Nisbet (AT), Karlsson (AT)

Aberdeen's predicted lineup indicates they'll aim to use their attacking trio of Aouchiche, Nisbet, and Karlsson to exploit Kilmarnock's defence. With Jensen and Armstrong in midfield, they'll look to control the game and hit Kilmarnock on the counter.

• Marcus Dackers vs Nicky Devlin: This will be a crucial battle between Kilmarnock's striker and Aberdeen's experienced defender.

• Greg Kiltie vs Ante Palaversa: The midfield duel between Kilmarnock's Kiltie and Aberdeen's Palaversa could determine who controls the game.

• Brad Lyons (Kilmarnock): Lyons is a key player for Kilmarnock, providing energy and creativity in midfield.

• Adil Aouchiche (Aberdeen): Aouchiche's pace and skill make him a dangerous threat for Aberdeen's attack.
