Hamilton Accies boss Stuart Taylor says Dunfermline is the start of a run of four games that could be pivotal to his side's chances of landing a play-off slot in the Championship.
Accies follow up the visit by the Pars with trips to Partick Thistle and Ayr United, either side of a visit by Queen of the South, and Taylor wants as many points as he can get.
Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Kilmarnock left Taylor's side eighth in the Championship table going into the clash, seven points above their visitors, who have a game in hand.
