Hamilton Academical

DLLLWL

Hamilton Academical will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 2-1 Premiership loss in their previous game against Ross County.

In that match, Hamilton Academical had 55% possession and 10 shots on goal with 2 on target. The only player to score for Hamilton Academical was Scott McMann (26'). For their opponents, Ross County had 8 attempts on goal with 2 on target. Blair Spittal (28') and Charlie Lakin (70') scored for Ross County.

It has not been often in recent times where Hamilton Academical have shown defensive steel. The facts show that The Accies have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 9 goals in the process.

Heading into this contest, Hamilton Academical haven’t won at home in the past 7 league games. Things will have to change soon.

Kilmarnock

DWWDLD

Last time out, Kilmarnock drew 3-3 in the Premiership match with St Mirren.

In that game, Kilmarnock had 40% possession and 19 shots at goal with 8 of them on target. For Kilmarnock, the goals were scored by Kyle Lafferty (8', 62') and Greg Kiltie (81'). At the other end, St Mirren had 12 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Jamie McGrath (63'), Cameron MacPherson (78') and Collin Quaner (83') scored for St Mirren.

The stats don’t lie, and Kilmarnock have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 11 goals overall. In defence, Killie could really do with shoring things up. While that may be of interest, we must now wait to see if that pattern might be maintained here in this game or not.

Looking at their past form shows that Kilmarnock:

• have not won against Hamilton Academical when they have played them away from home in the previous 4 league games. Not the best of away records.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 7 matches in the league.
