Recent respective form guides

Airdrie United need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Diamonds have scored 4, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Hamilton Academical's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Accies, and 5 goals against.

Airdrie United find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 23 games have yielded only 17 points.

Hamilton Academical are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 23 points from 20 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Diamonds at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Accies come away with an easy victory. Away win
