Rangers head into this match after winning five in a row, with their most recent league outing a 1-0 victory, while Kilmarnock have just drawn 1-1 and are also unbeaten in 4 straight. The two teams therefore arrive with recent results that look similar, but the quality of their play is clearly on different levels. Rangers have won 5 of 7 this season, scoring 8 and conceding 4, and at home they have scored in the first half in 6 of 8 matches. Kilmarnock, meanwhile, have won just 1 of 7, have already conceded 15, and their away first-half defence concedes an average of 0.38 goals per game, similar to the hosts, but the problem is their defence over the full match leaks far more. Based on the expected line-ups, Rangers are likely to send out the same attacking unit to apply pressure from the start. Kilmarnock are not an easy team to beat, as they are unbeaten in 4 straight and tend to concede more late in games than at other times. If the hosts cannot score early, the game could drag on, but with the quality of the team and the record when they meet, Rangers win comfortably almost every time, so the game is likely to flow the hosts' way from the start. What to watch is how quickly Rangers can take the lead.
