Recent respective form guides

Aberdeen's dreadful home form has resulted in just one victory (last season) and one draw from their last six played. The Dons have conceded a disappointing five goals in this period, and managed to convert only one of their own chances - and, again, that was last season.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. A generous nine goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Aberdeen are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with one points from four matches.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their four games have yielded only one point.
