History of the Falkirk v Hamilton Academical fixture

Hamilton Ac. face a trip to Falkirk at The Falkirk Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Accies will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 43 and win only 14 of the 70 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2009, with Hamilton Ac. inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Bairns in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Falkirk need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Bairns have scored 5, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Hamilton Ac.'s away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Accies have hit 6 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Falkirk find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 11 games have yielded only 5 points. Hamilton Ac. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 9 points from 11 matches.
