This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premiership, Hamilton Academical holding 10th place and St. Mirren lying 11th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
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. This stadium uses artificial turf, unlike St. Mirren's home stadium. The visitors last five games on artificial turf have ended in 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses.
St. Mirren have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
