Footymad preview History of the Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Aberdeen fixture

Inverness Caledonian Thistle prepare to entertain Aberdeen at Caledonian Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 2 of the 11 games played, and losing 7.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Caledonian Stadium was earlier this season, the Caley Thistle carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
