155%(2.85)
X25%(3.30)
220%(2.08)

Hamilton Academical shows solid home form with a 57% win rate and an impressive 50% clean sheet record at their own stadium. The hosts score an average of 1.36 goals per home game while conceding only 0.64, giving them a positive goal difference of +10 in home fixtures. Queen of the South is going through a clear slump in form, picking up just 0.4 points per game in their last five matches without a single victory in this period. The visitors have a poor away win rate (31%) and concede an average of 1.46 goals per away game, which, combined with a negative goal difference of -3, puts them in a difficult situation. Queen of the South's possession advantage (51%) does not translate into efficiency, as evidenced by a lower xG (1.17) compared to Hamilton (1.29 xG in home matches). Taking all these factors into account, Hamilton Academical holds a distinct advantage, although the visitors' form makes a draw scenario the second most likely option.
