Inverness Caledonian Thistle Preview – Can Caley Thistle keep winning run going?
Inverness Caledonian Thistle finished in third spot last season but missed out on promotion in the Premiership play-off final. They will be looking to miss the play-offs altogether this term and secure their place in the Premiership by winning the league title.
Billy Dodds’ men have made a solid start to their 2022-23 campaign, winning four, drawing two and losing two of their opening eight Championship games. After back-to-back losses to Partick Thistle and Morton in August, Caley Thistle have sealed three straight league wins, seeing off Raith Rovers, Cove Rangers and Ayr United.
As Inverness look to close the gap on Partick, three points on home soil this Friday would be huge. However, they are the slight second favourites with the bookies.
Partick Thistle Preview – Will the leaders leave with the points?
Ian McCall’s Partick Thistle are the early leaders of the Championship. They have made a strong start, picking up five wins from their opening eight league games. They are top of the table with 17 points to their name. Overall, the Jags have won ten of their opening 15 in all competitions.
Since a 3-2 loss at Queen’s Park in August, which remains their only league reverse of the season, Partick have bounced back by taking 13 points from 15 on offer. Last time out, they hammered Morton 5-1 at Firhill Stadium.
