Sports Mole

Hamilton Academical will welcome Motherwell on Saturday as they hope to get their new year off to a positive start, with the hosts currently sitting at the bottom of the Scottish Premiership.

Meanwhile, the visitors will be hoping to bounce back from their 2-0 defeat against Kilmarnock on Wednesday as they sit just two points ahead of their opponents.


Match preview

Hamilton have endured a hugely disappointing season thus far, picking up just four wins during their opening 20 league fixtures.

Their latest result witnessed a goalless draw against St Johnstone, with Brian Rice's men securing just their 15th point this campaign.

In fact, Hamilton have failed to score in their previous three games, suffering defeats against both Celtic and Livingston.

Their most recent victory came against Ross County on matchday 18 as Hamilton secured a crucial 2-0 win against their opponents, with Ross Callachan and Scott Martin managing to get on the scoresheet.

However, it is worth noting that they also possess a poor defensive record, having conceded a worrying nine goals in their previous three home games.

Motherwell have also been struggling this season, with the visitors currently sitting in 10th position in the table.

Their recent defeat against Kilmarnock means they have now suffered 10 losses already this campaign, resulting in Stephen Robinson's decision to resign as manager.

During the game, Mark O'Hara was sent off in the early stages of the second half, with the red card proving costly for his teammates.

Motherwell have now gone eight league games without a win, with their previous victory being a 2-0 triumph over Livingston back in October.

The last meeting between the two sides ended in a narrow 1-0 win to Hamilton back in August, featuring a late goal by Hakeem Odoffin.

Team News

Hamilton are currently dealing with a long list of injuries, with both Marios Ogkmpoe and Will Collar set to miss the game with a knee problem.

Ryan Fulton, Shaun Want and David Templeton are also out, leaving Rice with limited options for the weekend.

However, Hamilton supporters will be pleased to know that the likes of Martin and Callachan are expected to be available for Saturday's game.

As for Motherwell, the visitors are without Chris Long and Liam Donnelly, with the players expected to return in January. Charles Dunne is also out with a groin injury, while Scott Fox continues his period on the sidelines.

O'Hara is also suspended, following his straight red in their latest loss against Kilmarnock.

Hamilton Academical possible starting lineup:
Gourlay; Hamilton, A Martin, Easton; Hodson, Odoffin, S Martin, McMann; Callachan, Thomas; Moyo

Motherwell possible starting lineup:
Carson; O'Donnell, Mugabi, Gallagher, Lamie, Grimshaw; Polworth, Crawford, Campbell; Cole, Watt


We say: Hamilton Academical 1-1 Motherwell

Currently, there is not much to separate the two sides, with Motherwell just two points ahead of Hamilton in the table. The visitors are also in poor form and the recent Robinson departure means they are unlikely to pick up a positive result this Saturday.
