Paddy Power are 11/4 about the Dons nicking this by a one-goal margin, although more accurate backers can get 6/1 (Betfred) about a 1-0 home win.
The goals have arrived for Inverness with eight in their last two competitive outings, and they can carry that momentum into their match against St Johnstone where they are Betdaq’s 2.25 (5/4) favourites.
Striker Adam Rooney was responsible for four of those eight strikes and is 9/2 (Paddy Power) to bag the first, while a safer bet could be Caley just to break the deadlock at 10/11 (Coral). Rooney is also 13/10 (bet365) to strike at any stage.
