Hamilton Academical form and stats

Academical's last game was hosting Kilmarnock (placed 6th) and winning 1-0. In the match before that, Academical hosted Aberdeen and drew the game 1-1.

Hibernian form and stats
Hibernian's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Hibernian collect 19 points from their 9 away matches in the Premiership. 6 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 2 defeats).
It's the second away game in a row for Hibernian, but there's smiles all around after the 3-0 victory versus Motherwell (placed 8th) in the Premiership last time out. Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Dundee in the League Cup.
The schedule is very tough for Hibernian now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League Cup game at Alloa Athletic is waiting in only three days.
Hibernian have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 9 league away games 13 goals have been scored. It's not easy to score on Hibernian as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games.
