Partick v Hamilton

Partick vs Hamilton Preview

Partick Thistle currently occupy fifth place in the Scottish Championship table thanks to a solid run of six matches without a loss, while Hamilton Academical were dealt a heavy 3-1 loss at home to Livingston, so the hosts will be confident about their chances here.

Indeed, Partick Thistle have picked up three wins along with three draws as well which has placed the hosts in a strong position to not only grab the all-important three points here on Saturday afternoon but to also break into the top four pack in the division as well.

The Jags have picked up recent important wins against Airdrieonians, Queen's Park and Dunfermline Athletic respectively along with points gained in draws with Livingston, Falkirk and Raith Rovers, so Kris Doolan's side will fancy their chances of adding to their points tally at Firhill Park.

Despite a slow start to this new Scottish Championship campaign which saw Partick Thistle fail to win any of their opening three games including slipping to two defeats, The Jags have been handed just one further loss in their subsequent 10 matches overall in the second tier.

In addition, Partick Thistle are unbeaten in their last 11 home games as well.

Hamilton Academical occupy a mid-table position of sixth place in the Scottish Championship table where the visitors find themselves seven points behind the top four clubs in the division and five points adrift of their upcoming hosts ahead of this weekend's action.

Hamilton have found league wins hard to come by so far in this season's campaign as the visitors have managed to collect just four victories to date this term which have come in the form of victories gained over Dunfermline Athletic, Partick Thistle, Greenock Morton and Airdrieonians respectively.

However, the former three wins were all registered on home soil at their New Douglas Park ground, while results away from home have been particularly poor in recent times in the domestic second tier.

Indeed, Hamilton Academical have managed to muster just the single win from their previous nine outings on the road while also being handed five defeats in the process and to make matters worse, John Rankin's side have also failed to score in six of these nine away games as well, thus underlining their troubles away from home.

The bigger picture shows Hamilton Academical have also accumulated just four wins within their previous 19 outings on the road in the Scottish Championship along with having no fewer than 12 defeats inflicted upon them on their travels.
