Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC play host to St Johnstone at Caledonian Stadium in round three of the Scottish League Cup. This is a group F encounter and the first meeting between these two teams in this competition. Here's our match prediction.
Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC did not give a good account of themselves in the preseason games. They managed just two wins in six games.
However, Caley Thistle didn't let that poor display dictate their first competitive match in nearly two months. Their opponents were Elgin City in the Scottish League Cup. They didn't have trouble as they cruised to a comfortable 2-0 home win.
Scott Kellacher's men find themselves in third place in Group F of the Scottish League Cup. Victory here could see them move to first place.
St Johnstone had a dismal 2024-25 campaign in the Scottish Premiership. They concluded the season at the bottom of the table and were relegated to the second division, where they will try to earn promotion for the first time in one try.
The Saints are now in the Scottish League Cup with the hope of going all the way and lifting the trophy. Their first match in this competition was against East Kilbride. They secured a 3-1 away victory in that match.
The last time Johnstone triumphed in this competition was in 2021 when they lifted their first-ever trophy.
