This is another replay of an earlier match that ended in a draw at Inverness. A match that saw a Red Card handed out to Inverness in the 29th minute and that lead to a goal by Dunfermline. Inverness managed to hang on for the entire match and scored the tying goal 4 minutes into injury time.

Dunfermline Athletic vs. Inverness Caledonian Thistle - OVER 2.5 Goals (-120)
Dunfermline Athletic vs. Inverness Caledonian Thistle - OVER 1 Goal 1st Half (-120)
Inverness Caledonian Thistle ML (+100)


The last 3 meetings between these clubs have been draws.

· Dunfermline is winless at home in their last 9 matches with 7 losses and 2 draws.
· Dunfermline has given up 31 goals at home this season ….Worst in the league.
· Dunfermline is on their way to relegation firmly planted in last place.
· Dunfermline has had 8 of their last 9 home games go Over 2.5 goals.
· Dunfermline has had the total go over 0.75 goals in the 1st half in their last 19 games…Home or Away
· Dunfermline is using a 3rd string keeper who made the fatal error last time out to allow the tying goal.
· Inverness has conceded 24 goals on the road ……. 2nd worst by 1 goal (25).
· Inverness has had their 1st clean sheet in 20 Matches last weekend beating Motherwell 0-1

I think I have painted a clear enough picture. I mean the signals are there and it’s as in your face as the Bat Signal over Gotham City. This match is going over the number. We saw a draw last match as a result of Inverness being crippled by a red card in the 29th minute or there could have been more goals scored.

Both sides will be eager to win, because the next game on tap for the winners is against Celtic on their turf. It will be nationally televised and the money that will be generated for the winner today will be a huge deposit in the clubs bank account.

Inverness is the better club and Dunfermline will do their best to disrupt the flow that Inverness has with their more talented side. If we can see Inverness score a quick goal in the first 20 minutes, Dunfermline will be forced to push forward leaving them vulnerable to the counter attack.



Richie Foran – Captain of Inverness making a comment about this match....................

Foran believes Inverness is a cut above their opponents, who he believes contributed to a scrappy encounter at the Caledonian Stadium last weekend.

"The first game was a scrappy affair," he said. "They probably brought us down to their level a little bit. They stopped us playing football. We like to pass the ball around and they stopped that. They're going to try to do the same. They're going to want a scrappy affair, because in my mind I believe we've got the more quality.”

"We've got good attacking players and we've got to try to get the ball down and play a bit, a bit more than we did in the first game. If we can do that and match them in the battle and the scrappiness, we'll come out on top."
