Hamilton Academical could hardly have asked for a better start to their William Hill League 1 campaign.
The Accies arrive in Methil sitting top of the table after winning each of their opening three league fixtures, scoring ten goals without conceding in the process.
Their campaign began in emphatic fashion with a 5-0 victory away to Montrose before a much tighter 1-0 home win against Alloa Athletic. Last weekend, Hamilton returned to their free-scoring best with an impressive 4-0 victory over Airdrieonians.
Their only defeat since the league season began came in the KDM Evolution Trophy, where Celtic B recorded a 3-1 victory at New Douglas Park. That result has done little to halt their league momentum, though, and the Accies have quickly established themselves as the early pace-setters.
Hamilton also enjoyed a strong Premier Sports Cup campaign, recording victories over Peterhead and Elgin City as well as taking the bonus point against Raith Rovers following a 1-1 draw. Their only defeat in the group came narrowly away to Premiership side Kilmarnock.
With three wins, ten goals scored and none conceded in League 1, there is little doubt about the size of the challenge facing East Fife this afternoon.
