Hamilton vs Kilmarnock tips and predictions

Is time right for Hamilton?

There's a palpable chance for an upset in this match. If the home side embraces this opportunity, they can get the job done.

Hamilton will hope that Kilmarnock are off-colour in order to add another loss to the records books. The visitors come into the match with 10 losses from their last 12 away campaigns. To put your faith in this team you might have wanted a better set of results than this.

Hamilton can take some inspiration from what they have done in previous upset victories. A robust home team defence might be the key to victory for them. Reassuringly they've been keeping things tidy recently and they have conceded no more than once in 5 of their last 6 home games. Conversely, the visitors look a little ragged in defence. Kilmarnock have conceded two or more goals in all of their last 3 matches. And when trying to create chances the visitors have appeared hesitant. They've been goalless in 10 of their last 14 away matches.

Obviously these sides are not unfamiliar foes. Hamilton have won 2 of the last 4 fixtures between the two teams.

Some of the hosts' recent success has been built around the security of their strong defence and that'll be essential for them to deny the visitors.

The sportsbooks are expecting both sides to get in on the act despite the favouritism for Kilmarnock. It's all about value though and with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that seems the better option this time around.
