Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Inverness CT & Cowdenbeath face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the League Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a League Cup game only three days ago.
Inverness CT form and stats
Last season, Inverness CT's League Cup journey ended in the group stage.The home supporters can't complain about results here at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium as Inverness CT have scored 24 goals to get 26 points from 13 games. The overall stats in the Championship are 8-2-3 (wins-draws-losses). The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium.
Inverness lost their last game at Hearts after a 0-1 scoreline. Heartbreak before that as Inverness lost 0-2 at Alloa Athletic's place.
It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Inverness CT have performed as huge favourites like they are today: nine games found in the database showing two Inverness wins, five draws and two defeats.
The manager J. Robertson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Dunfermline Athletic in only four days.
The Inverness CT fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 24 goals in 13 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only -1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Inverness have conceded 14 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Cowdenbeath form and stats
Cowdenbeath was sent out of League Cup in the group stage last season.Cowdenbeath have only collected 9 points from their away games in the League Two, after 2-3-8 (13 played).
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a League Cup home defeat versus Hearts with 0-1 on the scoreboard. A 0-2 defeat away at East Fife before that.
Nobody expects Cowdenbeath to collect anything from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath eight times before, with the overall statistics of won one, draw two and lost five. When defeated, four matches have been lost by two or more goals.
A quick return to home after this game, as Cowdenbeath are hosting Annan Athletic in the League Two only four days away.

It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only -1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Cowdenbeath struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 20 goals conceded from these games.
