Hamilton Academical have had problems winning points this season. Could they get some points when Arbroath stop by Fountain of Youth Stadium?
- Hamilton Academical have the most conceded goals (24) in Championship
- Arbroath have the the best goal difference (+12) in Championship
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
This pitch has artifical turf, unlike Arbroath's home arena. The previous nine games by the away side on artifical turf have given 2 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses.
Hamilton Academical form and stats
With 2 Championship wins, 0 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Hamilton Academical are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Academical shared the glory with Greenock Morton in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Queen of the South in a game that was won 1-0.Academical have scored 4 league goals here from 6 matches, not a lot. Academical are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (12 from 6 played).
Arbroath form and stats
3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Arbroath, who have the the best goal difference (+12) in Championship, playing as the away team in the Championship this season.
Arbroath go into this game after a win, the home game against Dunfermline Athletic that ended 4-2. An amazing comeback from Arbroath last time out, trailing 0-2 before rallying an inspired fight which eventually led to M. McKenna scoring the winning goal in the 85th minute. As you can tell from the result, the match against Dunfermline Athletic was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Preceding that game was the away victory against Inverness CT with the score of 1-0.The travelling fans enjoy Arbroath's attacking play in away games, having scored 11 goals in 6 league matches away. As opposed to that, Arbroath have seen the ball go into their own net 6 times on the road.
