Peterhead (home)
- Peterhead are unbeaten at home in League One this season, winning four and drawing one of five matches at Balmoor.
- Jordon Brown’s team are fifth in the league on 16 points after ten games, one point behind ICT in third with 17.
- The Blue Toon bounced back from their 0-4 Challenge Cup defeat to Hibernian B with a 3-0 home win over Queen of the South.
- His pragmatic team plays a direct style, high-tempo, vertical brand of soccer in which transitions matter and pressing is key.
- They get on the ball quickly and use their wide players to stretch the opposition, so they can create overloads and chances on the flanks, according to our Peterhead vs Inverness Caledonian Thistle prediction.
Inverness (away)
- Inverness Caledonian Thistle have won one and lost one of their last two away matches.
- Scott Kellacher has only been in charge of the Highland side since October 2024, but has implemented a possession-based approach in which his team will build patiently and then look to overload the wings with crosses.
Head-to-Head
Inverness Caledonian Thistle won that game 2-0 at home, but Peterhead are a different team now and a much more formidable opponent.
Key Players
- Kieran Shanks has been a potent force for them up front with five goals in 10 League One matches, three of which have come in the Blues’ last eight games.
- David Wotherspoon is ICT’s top scorer with four in 10.
Betting Insights
- ICT are the odds-on favorite at 1.85, with Peterhead 3.76 and the draw 3.66.
-

- 3-1 away defeat to Hamilton
- 4-1 Challenge Cup win at Forfar
- 2-2 home draw with Kelty Hearts
- When considering this Peterhead vs Inverness Caledonian Thistle betting tips, it may be worth keeping an eye on the goal markets and individual player bets.
- Shanks to score at any time is a solid play after netting five League One goals.
Prediction
- Given the visitors are one point and one position better off than their hosts in the table, it’s hard to oppose them given they also won the previous meeting, but the Peterhead vs Inverness Caledonian Thistle betting tips suggest this could be closer than odds suggest.
- ICT have only lost one of their five away games in League One this year, winning four and scoring nine goals on the road.
- We will side with Peterhead’s unbeaten home record in the league this campaign to keep this close.
