Inverness CT hold a distinct advantage as the league leaders with an impressive record of 17 wins this season and a +22 goal difference on their home ground. The hosts have won 71% of their home fixtures, keeping a clean sheet in half of these games, with an average of just 0.64 goals conceded per match. Peterhead perform significantly worse as the away side - losing half of their away games (50%), holding a negative goal difference of -12, and conceding an average of 1.86 goals per match on the road. The form of both teams over their last 5 matches is identical (1.8 PPG); however, Inverness's home supremacy and Peterhead's away vulnerabilities strongly suggest a comfortable win for the hosts. An additional argument is the fact that Inverness remain undefeated in their last 5 matches, while Peterhead have suffered as many as 4 defeats in their last 5 away outings.
