View all of the Hamilton Academical v Elgin City predictions, poll and stats below - along with the latest match odds.
Hamilton Academical will be hoping to return to winning ways here after a 1-0 League Cup defeat last time out to Kilmarnock.
Greg Kiltie (60') scored for Kilmarnock.
It’s not been often in recent times that Hamilton Academical have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Hamilton Academical have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 7 goals during that time.
Since a loss in their previous game against Kilmarnock in League Cup competition, Elgin City and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
Joe Hugill (93') was the scorer for Kilmarnock.
Looking at their form, and Elgin City have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 11 goals in all. At the back, Elgin City have some weaknesses to address. That trend might not be continued into this match, though.
There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the sole fitness concern for the Hamilton Academical manager Darian MacKinnon to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust group of players. 1 (Hamilton Acad.) won’t play.
Out of a mainly healthy group, there’s only a single fitness problem for the Elgin City manager Stefan Laird to be concerned about. 1 (Elgin City) won’t be playing here.
In this match, Hamilton Academical will, in all likelihood, have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.
In contrast, Elgin City will be up against it getting goals but we can see them scoring.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a controlled 3-1 margin for Hamilton Academical at the end of this one.
Looking at what the bookmakers’ view is of this game on the 90 min. result market, the win for Hamilton Academical can be had for 1.11, betting on the game finishing all-square is 8 and staking on the win for Elgin City is 15. They’re the best returns available at the moment.
