Inverness CT have performed here at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium this season with 5 wins from 7 Championship matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 0 games and lost 2. Inverness are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium, having lost their two previous games here.

The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Raith Rovers (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties) in the Challenge Cup last time out and are looking for a win here.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Scottish Cup home game that ended 1-1 versus Greenock Morton.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Inverness CT have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won two, drawn four and lost zero.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Inverness CT as they are travelling to their away game against Greenock Morton in the Scottish Cup. That match is four days after this one.

Inverness are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 games. From these home matches, Inverness have conceded only 5 goals.
