Our prediction for the match Hamilton vs Raith Rovers
“The Accies” were successful last season. Taking 2nd place in the League One, they secured the right to return to the Championship by winning an additional play-off. “The Wanderers” finished the previous cycle in 2nd position, but they were the losers of the decisive clash, remaining in this division.
This seems to have been a blow to the team. “The Rovers” are nowhere near maintaining their position. Losing more often than winning, the club has rolled back to the bottom of the table. It played differently against Falkirk in the cup confrontation and the Championship: the team won in the first one, but the opponent immediately took revenge in the second competition. The newcomer loses half of the matches, but there are also victories, which allow it to keep the distance from the danger zone. Speaking about the previous round, nothing worked out: the club lost to Livingston with a 0-3 score.
The hosts manage to score 1.35 goals on average. At the same time, they concede almost 1.85 goals per game. The guests score almost a goal per round (now the figure is at 0.95), but they concede 1.4 goals per confrontation.
