Hamilton Academical

- After a 4-0 defeat by Airdrieonians in the Scottish FA Cup and a 0-0 draw at Stenhousemuir in their last game in League One, Hamilton have work to do to win.
Head-to-Head

Key Players
- Oliver Shaw is the main threat for Hamilton with 12 goals in 16 League One matches and has been clinical in recent matches.
- Inverness CT’s Alfie Bavidge is the League One leading scorer with four goals in 15, but they have had a goal-scoring drought lately and have been more solid than spectacular.
- Chanka Zimba has been a focal point for them recently, scoring four goals in his last five appearances and driving the team forward, so he should be a good anytime goalscorer bet too. This is one of the factors to keep in mind when looking at the latest Inverness Caledonian Thistle vs Hamilton Academical FC betting tips.
Betting Insights
- The Accies are outsiders at 4.73, while Inverness CT are favorites at 1.66, suggesting the bookmakers are not expecting a close match.
- But with Hamilton having scored 16 goals in eight away games in this campaign, a 2.00 per-game average, Under 2.5 goals at 1.89 seems more attractive.
Prediction
- The hosts have been so consistent at home, where they have won two in a row and not suffered a loss or draw in their last two, that they look likely to have enough to win even if it is close.
- Hamilton have had a dip in their road form, failing to win any of their last three away from home (D1, L2), so there is some logic to take on the home side to edge out a victory in what will be a tight encounter.
