Kilmarnock vs Tromso Predictions

Kilmarnock are a tough side to beat at Rugby Park, and they should be able to get a positive result on Thursday.

I'm backing Killie not to lose, in a likely low-scoring contest in Scotland.

Kilmarnock are unbeaten in 18 of their last 21 home matches
Kilmarnock won 7 of their last 11 home matches
Kilmarnock have seen under 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 home matches (competitive fixtures)
Tromso failed to win 6 of their last 9 away matches
Tromso lost 8 of their last 15 away matches
Tromso have seen under 1.5 goals in 6 of their last 7 matches

Head to Head

Kilmarnock and Tromso will meet for the first time in the Conference League qualifiers on Thursday.

Kilmarnock Form

Kilmarnock return to Rugby Park after a tough week saw them eliminated from the Europa League qualifiers, before a 4-0 defeat at champions Celtic. After a 1-0 loss in the second leg against Cercle Brugge last Thursday, Derek McInnes's side suffered a comprehensive beating at Parkhead over the weekend.

Much stronger at Rugby Park, Killie are unbeaten in ten of their last 12 matches in Ayrshire, with eight victories recorded during that period.

Celtic, Rangers and Hearts are the only teams to win at this venue since September 2023.

Kilmarnock Team News

Killie boss McInnes has a fully fit squad available for Thursday's first leg in Ayrshire. Robbie Deas will return to the side having been suspended for the weekend defeat at Parkhead.

Tromso Form

Tromso's inconsistent form continued on Sunday as Noah Holm's second-half goal condemned Gard Holme's side to another domestic defeat. Sitting just outside the Eliteserien relegation zone, the Gutan lost ten of 18 league matches played this season.

Recent matches have been tightly contested, with the visitors seeing only four goals scored in their last five fixtures across all competitions.

The Norwegians secured their place in the Conference League 3rd qualifying round with a 2-0 aggregate victory against Finnish opponents KuPS in round two.

Tromso Team News

Head coach Holm could be forced into one change to his selection. Mamadou Barry was substituted at halftime during Tromso's loss to Rosenborg and may miss out on Thursday.

Elias Aarflot is a long-term absentee for the away side.

Verdict

Kilmarnock v Tromso

A tight first leg is expected, with Killie tipped to claim at least a draw.

Under 2.5 goals seems likely, with the hosts capable of claiming a first-leg advantage.
