View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The strongest signal points to Montrose potentially failing to score: Hamilton have conceded an average of just 0.6 goals in their last 5 matches, while the visitors are averaging 0.81 xG. Montrose have failed to score in 33% of their matches, and their average of 1.17 goals is well below the 2.2 goals Hamilton have scored recently. However, the hosts have conceded an average of 2.0 goals per match this season, so an away goal cannot be ruled out. Even so, BTTS has landed in 33% of Hamilton’s matches and 50% of Montrose’s, while the hosts’ improved defensive form over their last 5 matches tips the assessment towards BTTS - No. This means at least one team is expected not to score; it does not necessarily mean a 0-0 draw.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The strongest pick is Over 1.5 goals: this line was cleared in all of Hamilton’s matches and in 83% of Montrose’s matches included in the data. Hamilton average 1.67 goals scored, while Montrose concede 1.33, giving the hosts a solid platform to find the net. Across their last five matches, Hamilton averaged 2.2 goals scored, while Montrose conceded 1.6, so recent results also support the Over. The higher line is less certain: although Over 2.5 goals landed in 80% of Hamilton’s last five matches, their average xG is 1.37, which calls for caution when forecasting further goals.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Hamilton led at the break in 4 of their last 5 matches and conceded no first-half goals in all five, supporting the expectation that the hosts will lead after 45 minutes. Montrose led at half-time only once over the same period and were level in 3 of 5 matches, making a goalless or drawn half-time score followed by a Hamilton win the main alternative. The hosts have won their last 5 matches, averaging 2.2 goals scored and 0.6 conceded, while the visitors averaged 1.2 scored and 1.6 conceded. Hamilton’s advantage is also supported by an average of 3.83 shots on target per match compared with Montrose’s 2.67, although the small difference in attacking xG — 0.91 to 0.81 — means this pick should not be treated as a certainty. The strongest scenario therefore remains Hamilton leading at the break and holding that lead through to full-time.
