Hamilton return to Gretna .........


...... tonight for a Challenge Cup tie and can hardly be relishing the prospect.

Just 25 days ago the two met in the league opener and Gretna administered a fearsome beating.

They won 6-0, but even that doesn't tell the full story, Hamilton were lucky to score nil. The home side amassed 31 (!) shots at goal, hit the woodwork 3 times, had shots cleared off the line and Accies goalkeeper, Dave McEwan, was their man of the match, making several first class saves.

The fairytale continues for Gretna, they have won all 4 league ties and have a +11 goal difference, their previous exploits were detailed in an earlier post ...........http://ubet2win.blogspot.com/2006/08/i-have-to-expect-goals-tonight.html .

Hamilton have picked up after that drubbing, registering two wins and all power to them for that, but Gretna hold a massive psycological edge and they LIKE winning, it has become a habit.
No major injuries and with league games on hold at the weekend, both should field their strongest available line ups. Have to stick with the home side.

4 points Gretna -1.25 goals asian line 1.88.

Good Luck.
