The visiting Aberdeen side should be favourites in this visit to Hamilton Academical, as the away team holds a 19 point advantage from their 13 league games this season.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Aberdeen play their home games on grass, while this game is played on artifical turf. Recent stats for Aberdeen when playing on artifical turf are 9 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats from eleven matches. They have scored 24 goals and conceded 9 times in these games.
Hamilton Academical form and stats
The story so far in the Premiership for Hamilton Academical, who have the most conceded goals (35) in Premiership, at their home stadium (Bermuda National Stadium) is 0 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Hamilton Academical with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Dundee United game, 60 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
In their previous game, the manager B. Rice led his Academical to a defeat in the Premiership match away at Dundee United. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Bermuda National Stadium. Prior to that, an away loss at Stranraer in the League Cup.
The penalty miss from Ross Callachan in the defeat against Dundee United was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
Academical aren't scoring a lot here at Bermuda National Stadium in the league, with only 4 goals from 5 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Academical with 10 goals conceded in these matches.
Aberdeen form and stats
The visitors are W3-D1-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Premiership.
Aberdeen lost away at Rangers (0-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Before that, Aberdeen secured a home win against Hibernian with the score 2-0.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Rangers was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
The schedule is very tough for Aberdeen now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League Cup game at St. Mirren is waiting in only three days.
The visiting Aberdeen have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 5 goals from 5 games. It's not easy to score on Aberdeen as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
