- They sit 7th with 25 points from 19.
- They were beaten 5-0 by Stenhousemuir away from home.
- They are a structured, disciplined unit, playing a compact 4-2-3-1 system, who like to frustrate opponents and hit them on the counter.
- East Fife have won 4, drawn 2 and lost 3 of their 9 home fixtures in the league, scoring 9 and conceding 7.
Inverness CT (away)
- Inverness CT sit second in the League One standings with 34 points from 19 matches played, 9 more than their hosts, and they look well placed to make a serious promotion push this season.
- The visitors are in decent form, coming into this game undefeated in their last 4 in all competitions (W2, D2).
- They were involved in an epic 3-3 draw at home to Partick Thistle in the Challenge Cup, winning the subsequent penalty shootout.
- Scott Kellacher has introduced a much more progressive and possession-based system to Inverness since his appointment in October 2024.

The most recent meeting in League One, which was 3 months ago , saw Inverness CT run out 4-1 winners at home in a dominant performance.
Key Players
- Michael McKenna provides a creative spark in midfield with 7 assists in 17 League One appearances to his name, while Andrew Munro is the club’s top goal scorer in the league with 4 in 17.
- Alfie Bavidge has been CT’s top scorer in the league this term with 5 goals in 19 appearances, but Billy McKay has been their ‘big game’ player, scoring 2 of their last 4 goals.
Betting Insights
- Inverness CT are favourites at 1.45 and East Fife are 6.39 for the win.
- Both teams to score is priced up at 1.89 and Over 2.5 goals is 1.81.
Prediction
I’m going for Over 2.5 in this one as Inverness ’ quality and clinical nature in front of goal should see them break Fife down and take all 3 points.
