Recent respective form guides

Hamilton Academical need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Accies have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

St. Johnstone's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Saints have hit 4 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Hamilton Academical find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 29 games have yielded only 15 points.

St. Johnstone see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 32 points from their 28 games played so far,
