Dundee News and Form
It has been tight and steady stuff from The Dee so far in the League Cup this season. After a 3-0 opening win over Raith Rovers, they then had to settle for back to back 0-0 draws. Those were against Cove Rangers and Peterhead, not the most convincing of results from Dundee, who got a bonus point for each for a penalty shootout win.
If Scottish cup games are level at 90 minutes, each side gets a point and then a bonus point goes to whoever wins a subsequent penalty shootout. They are guaranteed at least second place in the group. They could top the group with a draw and a penalty shootout win against Caley, which makes this interesting. If they win in 90 minutes they win the group. Twelve months ago The Dee failed to make it past the group stage, taking a win in just one of their four group stage games.

Inverness CT News and Form
Caley started with a 0-0 draw at Peterhead in this season’s League Cup. But then they exploded into life in their two home games, beating Raith 4-1 and then Cove Rangers 3-2. So that was a great return from them on home soil. The goal output has put them in good stead, but they will probably be a little bothered about the goals that they have given up.
Jordan White has scored a goal in each of their last two League Cup games. Inverness could only manage a second-place finish in last season’s group stage, but that missed out on being one of the best runners up to get through to the second round. The tricky thing about playing for a draw is that they could lose the penalty shoot-out and miss on the top spot.

Dundee v Inverness CT Predictions
Draw: A good scenario to finish within this group, a straight winner-takes-all affair for the top spot. However, we are backing the draw in the match outright because Inverness may well see that a point is likely to get them through as one of the best runners up, even if they were to lose a subsequent shootout.
