Recent respective form guides

Hamilton Academical's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Accies have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Hearts's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Jambo's's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.

Hamilton Ac. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 10 points from 13 matches. Hearts see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 13 points from their 13 games played so far,
