The team of Inverness enters with a good status in this game after the last outright home win over Dundee (4-1) and over Hibernian (3-0). Overall the team is unbeaten in 13 of 14 games in the league. Maybe that's why coach Terry Butcher relies on unchanged squad for this match.
The last match between these two teams was very dynamic and offered great emotions for the fans finishing with a goal fiesta - 2:2. We have no doubt that an open and beautiful game for the pleasure of the fans will be the main goal for both teams in this holiday event.
For St Mirren's team the picture looks slightly worse. They have not scored in their last three away games in the Premier League. In addition, the team has lost five of six games as a guest, which makes them an outsider going up against the second-placed in the league at this time. Essential will be the miss of captain Jim Goodwin and the main defender Marc McAusland, two key players for St Mirren who will miss the game due to suspension.
Despite the current state of both teams, we have witnessed all kinds of twists and interesting results in matches between Christmas and New Year. We expect an exciting duel with beautiful goals which will make a complete holiday for the football fan.
