Hamilton
Saturday’s football game at Rugby Park pits together Kilmarnock and Hamilton Academical, the two teams who are eyeing a place in the play-offs. Kilmarnock sit in 5th position in the standings ahead of Matchday 13, but Motherwell and Aberdeen defeated them in the previous two league fixtures. However, the fact that the Killie have been producing excellent displays at home ground this term is certainly giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Hamilton.
The Accies, on the other hand, will be without suspended midfielder Scott Martin against Kilmarnock and given their poor form in the national championship, home win should be considered. You should bear in mind that Hamilton Academical are on a five-game winless run in the Scottish top flight ahead of the trip to East Ayrshire. When the two teams met at Rugby Park last season, Kilmarnock crushed Hamilton 5-0.
