The Opposition:
It’s a second consecutive season in the top flight of Scottish Women’s football for Hamilton Academical and they will their eyes set on securing their status for another season. 12 points clear of bottom side Glasgow Women, Accies are looking up the table rather than down and they have already scored more goals this season than they did in the whole of their 2021-22 SWPL campaign.
Gary Doctor has made efforts to improve his side in their fight to avoid the relegation play off with Holly Aitchison joining the side on loan from Hearts.

Glasgow City and Hamilton Academical met just two weeks ago in Leanne Ross’s first match in charge.

In the SWPL meeting back in October, Lauren Davidson scored a hat-trick from the penalty spot as City won 6-0.
Form Guide:
A midweek victory moved Hamilton Academical up to ninth in the SWPL table after a poor run of results had seen Accies only win once since August.
In their last match, Hamilton Accies ended that six game losing run with a 4-0 victory over Glasgow Women.
