Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Inverness CT & Kilmarnock face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Scottish Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Kilmarnock have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 8-5-22 (win-draw-loss) from 35 matches.
Inverness CT and Kilmarnock should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
