• Raith have seen both teams score in five of their last six League Cup games
• Hamilton have scored in nine of their last 10 matches in this competition
• Both teams scored in each of Hamilton’s final five games at the end of last season

Back goals in race for second

Raith Rovers and Hamilton clash in a fight for second place in Group H as the Scottish League Cup’s first round wraps up this weekend. The hosts have the edge going into the final game, holding a two-point lead over the Accies.

The visitors lost 2-1 to group leaders Ross County in midweek, which leaves them chasing a win away to their fellow Championship side this weekend. The Accies have the firepower to make the push, as they’ve scored in nine of their last 10 League Cup games and they’ve netted four goals across their last two games.

However, the visitors finished last season with both teams scoring in each of their final five matches. They meet a Raith side who aren’t short on goals, with the hosts seeing both teams score in five of their last six matches in this competition.

It’s easy to see both sides going for the win at some point in this clash and given their high-scoring form so far, both teams to score seems well priced.
