History of the Hibernian v Inverness Caledonian Thistle fixture

Hibernian prepare to entertain Inverness Caledonian Thistle at Easter Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Hibees are clearly on top, beating their opponents 5 times from 8 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road Stadium was two seasons ago, in November 2008, with Inverness CT inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the The Hibees in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Hibernian could not have a worse home record, losing every single one of the last six matches played! While The Hibees have scored 5, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Inverness CT's away form is none too clever either, remaining unbeaten in their last six, winning five and drawing the one. These six games have produced a glut of goals, with the Caley Thistle scoring 17 and conceding 1.

Hibernian see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 3 points from their 3 games played so far, Inverness CT lie just outside the playoff positions in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, picking up 3 from their 3 games so far.
