A statistical review of Kilmarnock's recent trips to Aberdeen paints a stark picture for the Rugby Park side. The analysis, reported by AOL, shows the club has lost nine of its last ten Scottish Premiership league visits to Pittodrie, including the last four in a row. This comes as Kilmarnock currently languish at the foot of the Premiership, with just a single point from their opening five matches of the 2026/27 season. Their form reads four defeats and a draw, leaving them 14 points adrift of leaders Celtic.
How bad is Kilmarnock's record at Aberdeen?
The numbers are emphatic. Kilmarnock's solitary win in their last ten league trips to Aberdeen was a 1-0 victory in December 2023, secured under then-manager Derek McInnes. Since that result, the trend has reverted firmly in Aberdeen's favour. The Dons have won four of the last five league meetings between the sides, a sharp reversal from the period before that run where they had lost four of the previous five. This historical difficulty on the road compounds Kilmarnock's current struggles, where they have conceded 14 goals while scoring only four, giving them a -10 goal difference.
What is Aberdeen's current form under Stephen Robinson?
Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson has a mixed personal record against Kilmarnock. While he has lost 12 Scottish Premiership games as a manager against them, he has also won two of his last three home league matches facing the Ayrshire club. However, Aberdeen's broader 2026 form has been poor. They have lost 15 league games in the calendar year, at least two more than any other Premiership side. A concerning recent streak saw them lose each of their last three league matches of 2026 without scoring a single goal. You can see how the teams compare in the current standings.
Where does this leave Kilmarnock's season?
Kilmarnock's start is their worst in the league for several years. They have zero points from their four most recent matches, having lost all of them. The last time a top-flight side began so poorly was Dundee in the 2018-19 season, who lost each of their first five matches. For Kilmarnock to avoid a similar fate, they must find a way to stop the rot quickly. The team's defensive record, having let in 14 goals, is a primary concern that needs immediate addressing.
