Ross County v Inverness betting preview, tips, team news & TV channel

BBC2 Scotland, 7.15pm Monday

Fifth round

Inverness have been written off by bookies going into their William Hill Scottish Cup Highland derby but they can raise their game and avoid defeat.

With Ross County top of the Ladbrokes Championship and 12 points ahead of Caley Thistle, it's understandable that the hosts are such strong favourites.

But John Robertson's men are capable of producing strong performances – they have just failed to do it consistently enough.

They have some key players, including Tom Walsh and Aaron Doran, back at Dingwall and will be desperate to avenge a particularly bruising defeat, with two players sent off and seven booked, when the sides last met.

Recommendation
Inverness or draw double chance
1pt 13-10 bet365
