Recent respective form guides

Hibernian's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While The Hibees have scored 4, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Hamilton Ac.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up four victories from the last six. A generous 8 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Hibernian see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 4 points from their 4 games played so far, Hamilton Ac. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 3 points from 4 matches.
