The Championship play-off semi-final commences on Tuesday night in a two-legged affair with the 1st leg starting with Inverness playing host to Dundee United as the betting tips continue at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium with the hosts looking to take a lead to Dundee in Friday night’s 2nd leg.
Inverness Prediction
Inverness progressed through to these semi-finals thanks to an aggregate 4-2 win against Ayr United which consisted of a 1st leg 3-1 win away at Somerset Park which was followed by a 1-1 draw at home with Ayr in the return leg as the hosts didn’t need to take any unnecessary risks.
Inverness finished their regular Championship season off in pretty consistent fashion as the hosts suffered just 2 defeats out of their last 10 matches overall in the second tier, losing only to automatically promoted Ross County and tonight’s opponents, Dundee United.
The hosts will therefore be keen to turn the tables on Dundee United here this evening at their Tulloch Caledonian Stadium which has seen a win, draw and a loss in the last three encounters with Dundee United.
Inverness ended their season with a home record of 5-8-5 22/23 which saw the hosts score and concede goals on a fairly regular basis; indeed, 11 of Inverness’s 18 home matches resulted in both teams scoring.
Dundee United Prediction
Dundee United finished runners-up in the Scottish Championship to title winners, Ross County, by a margin of 6 points which meant that the visitors automatically qualified for this play-off semi-final.
The visitors lost just 3 of their last 14 matches overall in the Championship which were losses to Partick Thistle, Queen of the South and Morton, but a three-match winning streak prior to their last day defeat to Morton secured their runners-up spot.
Wins against Ayr United, tonight’s opponents, Inverness and Falkirk saw Dundee United claim 2nd place, but they’re not guaranteed a win by any stretch as they make their way to Inverness for this crucial 1st leg.
The Tangerines have managed just 3 wins from their last 11 matches away from home which were gained at Queen of the South, Dunfermline Athletic and Inverness, amidst an overall away record which ended up on 8-5-5 20/15.
The visitors failed to score in just 3 of their 18 away matches during the season, and 9 of Dundee United’s 18 away matches saw both teams score.
