Kilmarnock vs Rangers Predictions and Top Betting Tips

Kilmarnock vs Rangers will be a curious match although it feels a bit pre-decided. Here are our predictions.

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

Rangers are the obvious favorite against most sides in this league and this match is no different. This is the opening game but we already expect a huge scoreline. After all, Rangers were the 2nd highest scoring side last season with over 90 goals throughout the campaign. They also always score a lot against this opponent. They scored 3x in both games against them last season.

Match Result Prediction: Rangers to Win

There is no doubt that we expect the win for the visiting side. Kilmanrock barely escaped relegation last season and we do not expect much more from them in the new campaign. The team had the 2nd weakest defense last season and they suffered a lot against Rangers in the two games. This should be an easy start for the visitors, who will have ambitions for the title this season.

Correct Score Prediction: 3-1 to Rangers

We actually expect a goal from the home side – they scored three against Rangers in the previous two games last season. They seem to be improving but it will not be enough for the actual win. When we compare the Kilmarnock vs Rangers line ups, there is an obvious gap in class between Rangers and practically every single other team in the league, apart from Celtic.
