Hamilton vs Aberdeen
Scottish Premiership
The SuperSeal Satdium. Tuesday 25th October
Kick Off: 19:45
After 9 games Aberdeen find themselves in their usual 2nd spot in the Premiership, but they could move to within 1 point of Celtic with victory over Hamilton tomorrow evening. The hosts sit in the bottom three following a poor run of form that hasn’t produced a single win in their last five matches, and its no surprise to see that Aberdeen are the bookies favourites to win the game. SkyBet Are offering 9/2 on a home win, 29/10 for the draw and just 3/5 on in form Aberdeen taking all 3 points away from home. Its hard to argue with those odds when you look at how each team is currently performing, but you would be silly to completely write off the hosts just yet. The pair drew 1-1 in this very fixture last season, and teams often find midweek night games away from home even tougher to play in than usual.

Aberdeen Team News
Central midfielder Ryan Jack remains Aberdeen's only absentee due to his recuperation from a knee operation. He should be back in action at the start of November though.
PREDICTION
The hosts have just one win from their last six games, all of which have been played in the league and explain their current poor positioning of 10th. Aberdeen head into this midweek encounter as the clear form favourites winning all of their last six and looking very good going forward, as well as being solid at the back. Crawford has scored 4 goals in the league this season for Hamilton, and he perhaps the hosts best chance of taking anything from tomorrow evening game. Aberdeen are yet to produce a striker in top form, but they are scoring goals from all over the park and this is bound to prove one of their strengths come the business end of the campaign. My money has to go on an away win, with Aberdeen once again running out convincing winners with the final score finishing 3-1.
