History of the Hamilton Academical v Aberdeen fixture

Aberdeen face a trip to Hamilton Academical at New Douglas Park on Wednesday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Dons will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides 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.

Recent respective form guides

Hamilton Academical's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only two draws from the last six matches. While the Accies have scored five, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Aberdeen is pretty dire, chalking up just one victory, with five defeats, from the last six. The Dons have conceded 21 goals in these games, and only hit three in reply.

Hamilton find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 15 games have yielded only 10 points. Aberdeen are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 13 points from 17 matches.
