Looking at their form, and Edinburgh City have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 16 goals in all. In defence, Edinburgh City have been far from perfect. That pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, however.

🤜🤛 Head to head

📰 Team News: Hamilton Academical
There’s just the sole fitness concern for the Hamilton Academical boss John Rankin to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength group. Scott Martin (Hamstring injury) is out of contention.
🗞️ Team News: Edinburgh City
With a fully healthy squad to pick from, the Edinburgh City manager Michael McIndoe doesn’t have any fitness concerns whatsoever coming into this game.
✨ Prediction
We feel that Hamilton Academical should stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.
At the other end, Edinburgh City are also probably going to find it difficult to score themselves although we do think that they will probably end up pulling one back during this clash, too.
We’re therefore expecting to see a controlled 3-1 margin for Hamilton Academical at the end of this one.
