Scottish Premier League Preview: Hamilton Academicals Vs Dundee United

Nike Football Uniforms NFL, This Scottish Premier League game is due to kick off at 15:00 GMT, on Saturday, 26 February 2011, at New Douglas Park, Hamilton

In spite of having a squad of players any other similar sized club would be delighted with, Accies continue to defy themselves and underperform to the extent that they are not just bottom of the league, but they are cast adrift and marooned at the bottom of the league. And it\'s not as if they have a bad manager, they don\'t - Billy Reid is one of the most respected and capable managers in the country. All in all, a bit of a mystery.

Anyway, they approach this game with the poorest recent record possible:- 5 defeats out of 5 games played.

Dundee United\'s recent record isn\'t awe-inspiring either, but it does include a 3-1 Nike Football Uniforms NFL win at New Douglas Park, and Nike Football Uniforms NFL their games have been the more difficult, on paper at least.

Is it possible to predict with any accuracy or precision how the weekend\'s game is likely to transpire? The crystal ball would get clearer, if we took a look at the performances of these teams in recent times, both in the Scottish Premier League and outside it:

Note: In analysing the current form of these two teams, I have taken into account their most recent games, irrespective of whether these were in the Scottish Premier League or not. You can assume that all of the above matches took place in the Scottish Premier League, except where I have specified otherwise, in the brackets.

The only good thing about a losing streak is that it has to come.to an end. The only question is \"when?\" Will Accies losing streak end in this fixture?. Very possibly. It all depends if they can play to their strengths. There\'s not much evidence to suggest they will, so we should expect Dundee United to end their own 3-game losing streak and take the points.
