History of the Hamilton Academical v Aberdeen fixture

Hamilton Ac. prepare to entertain Aberdeen at New Douglas Park on Wednesday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Accies are clearly on top, winning 58.14% of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at New Douglas Park was less than a year ago, in March 2010, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Premier match.
