WLLWWW 📈

Hibernian, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 2-0 Premiership triumph versus Aberdeen.

In that match, Hibernian had 41% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 5 on target. The only player to score for Hibernian was Martin Boyle (27', 67'). Aberdeen had 11 attempts at goal with 1 of them on target.

A recurring characteristic of more recent Hibernian games is the number of results with a nil in them.

From their previous sextet of matches before this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on "Both Teams to Score" would've been a loser.

Coming into this contest, Hibernian are unbeaten in the league by Hamilton Academical in their previous 9 matches. A long run without a loss.

The numbers tell their own story, and Hamilton Academical have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 7 goals in total. In defence, The Accies could really do with shoring things up. That trend isn’t assured to be sustained into this game, however.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Hamilton Academical:

• have not registered a win against Hibernian when they've played them away from home in the last 5 league games. Not good at all.
• are unbeaten in their last 2 away league matches.
