O’DONNELL League leaders Hamilton will be looking to get back on track after losing backto-back away games in the league and League Cup. Partick have won on only one of their last nine visits to New Douglas Park, with Hamilton winning six of those matches. Ninth-place Partick have taken only one point and scored just one goal in their four away games in the league.
