Recent respective form guides

As the form guide concentrates on competitive games, and the last ones were at the end of last season, these are largely irrelevant.

Aberdeen managed to pick up just two wins from their last six home games, losing three. While the Dons scored eight, a worringly large 11 were leaked at the other end.

The away form of Hamilton however, was much more impressive, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The games constituted a decent return of nine goals for the Accies, and three goals against.
