Hamilton vs Dundee United Prediction, Betting Tips & Prediction

Hamilton vs Dundee United
Scottish Premiership
Date: Saturday, January 16, 2024
Start at 15pm UK
Venue: Fountain of Youth Stadium, Hamilton.

Hamilton quickly reverted to his old ways after defeating Motherwell in what was the team's best performance of the season. They failed to find the back of the net in a 2-0 defeat to Kilmarnock last weekend.

The defeat dropped them to penultimate place, 11th in the Premiership standings. Therefore, the Accies will probably fight for the survival of the best flights at the end of the season and every point they get from now on could be crucial.

Therefore, this Saturday's home game against Dundee United is of great importance for Brian Rice and his team. The visitors, on the other hand, are looking to end a sequence of four games without victories with this weekend's visit to the Fonte da Juventude Stadium.

To be fair, they've only lost one of their four matches along the way and have generally held off much better this season, which is why they go into the tie as 2,15 favorites to win.

Hamilton v Dundee United head to head

In addition to form, Dundee United are also favorites for the head-to-head.

The visitors have won 12 and lost 7 of the 27 meetings with Accies. They managed a 2-1 victory over Hamilton when the two teams last met in November last year.

It was the only game of the last four meetings between the two teams in which three or more goals were scored.

Three of the last six falls in H2H ended without a winner.

Hamilton vs Dundee United Prediction

As important as this match is for Hamilton, we can hardly see them securing the coveted 3 points after 90 minutes. After all, they have failed to score in four of their last five league games.

Up front, the team have scored just nine goals in eleven home games so far this season. On the bright side, their rivals weren't more prolific in the last third of their travels either.

The Terrors have scored just five goals in eleven Premiership away games this season. So FT under 2,5 goals seems to be by far the safest betting choice here, paid at odds of 1,61.

We also see great value in betting on a tie at odds of 3,20, knowing that three of the last six head-to-heads have ended without a winner.
