Recent respective form guides

Queen of the South's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Doonhamers have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Hamilton Ac.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Accies's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Queen o.t.S. see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division One, showing a record of 6 points from their 5 games played so far, Hamilton Ac. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 5 points from 5 matches.
