Hamilton Academical form and stats
Two Championship home games so far for Hamilton Academical, who are yet to win here at Fountain of Youth Stadium. Only 0 points so far. With ten home Championship games in a row without a win, the Hamilton Academical fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Motherwell game long ago, can be stopped today.
Academical are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-4 away versus Arbroath. Academical were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Ahead of that match, Academical won a home game hosting Hearts U21 (3-2).The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Academical have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won one time, drawn zero and lost two.
Hamilton Academical has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 3 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Ayr United form and stats
It's not happening yet for Ayr United on their Championship travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? With two straight losses from their last two away games, Ayr are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus Dunfermline Athletic in the Championship.We have checked recent matches where Ayr United have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were two victories, two draws and five defeats.
It's early days yet, but Ayr United has scored 0 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
