Goal Statistics

A PG of 2.3 is decent for Heart of Midlothian in their meeting with Kilmarnock, as is their run of scoring 1 goal or more in 17 consecutive Premiership games.

Goals have been a problem for Kilmarnock of late. It has been 5 Premiership games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.0 suggests they'll have problems ending that run on Wednesday evening against Heart of Midlothian.
