Recent respective form guides

Hamilton Academical's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Accies have scored 7, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Greenock Morton's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. While the 'Ton have hit 5 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Hamilton Academical at home in recent games, and, though we cannot see a run starting here, we do think the Accies will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
