FootyMad's prediction ...

This promises to be an excellent test for the in-form The Doonhamers, but one which I believe will end in stalemate. No-score draw

Sequence statistics:
Inverness CT Unbeaten in the last 8 home games.
Drawn each of their last 2 games.
Not won in the 2 most recent games.
Queen o.t.S. Last drawn game 4 outings ago.

Queen's manager Chisolm intends to shuffle the pack for the visit to Inverness and he will have Quinn and Knight available after suspension. David Lilley took a knock against Thistle but is expected to recover in time. Those diehards at the Doonhamer Travel Club will be heading off as usual and a minibus will make the long trek north. Well done to them.
