Recent respective form guides

Inverness Caledonian Thistle are not in the best of form at home, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats in their last six. A total of 11 goals have been scored by the Caley Thistle in those games, with 5 conceded.

The Killie have had a decent run of form away from home recently, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 3 have been let in at the wrong end.

Inverness CT see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 7 points from their 6 games played so far, Kilmarnock's 10 points from 6 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.
