Recent respective form guides
Inverness Caledonian Thistle's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Caley Thistle have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Aberdeen's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Dons have hit 7 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Inverness CT are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 17 points from 18 matches. Aberdeen's 24 points from 17 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 6th position.
