Queen of the South vs Inverness CT: match statistics
Inverness CT demonstrates a clear advantage as the league leaders with an impressive record of 14 season wins and excellent form (5 matches unbeaten, including 3 victories). The away side stands out with a solid defense – conceding only 0.64 goals per away match on average and keeping 64% clean sheets, which is a significant edge over the hosts who concede an average of 1 goal per match at home. Queen of the South, despite a decent league position and a 64% home win rate, shows inconsistent recent form (1.8 PPG) and a weaker defense (xGA 1.4 vs the visitors' xGA 0.91). Inverness's advantage in ball possession (54% vs 53%), superior xG metrics, and higher points-per-game efficiency (2.2 PPG in the last 5 matches) point towards an away win.
