The Premiership season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Hearts and Hamilton Academical promises to be an interesting one.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Hamilton Academical have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 9-2-27 (win-draw-loss) from 38 matches.
