History of the Aberdeen v Inverness Caledonian Thistle fixture

Aberdeen prepare to entertain Inverness Caledonian Thistle at Pittodrie Stadium on Monday afternoon, for the first time in their history, and will be hoping to give their new opponents the runaround.

Recent respective form guides

Aberdeen have lost just once in their last six home games, winning four and drawing the other one. A total of 9 goals have been scored by the Dons in those games, with 6 conceded.

In complete contrast to Aberdeen, Inverness CT are having a torrid time on their travels, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Caley Thistle have hit 6 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net. This will be something that new boss Craig Brewster will be keen to turn around, particularly in this unusual "away-home-away" fixture - there is no away ground in the SPL that ICT are more familiar with!

Aberdeen are still in 3rd despite a couple of recent setbacks, having taken 34 points from 19 games. Inverness CT see themselves just below half way in the Bank of Scotland Scottish Premier, showing a record of 18 points from their 19 games played so far, which must be pleasing for their well-travelled supporters
