FootyMad's prediction ...

A creditable return from recent away games for Rovers could well see them head back from Tulloch Caledonian Stadium with a share of the spoils, think the FootyMad panel. Score draw

Inverness CT Unbeaten in the last 3 home games.
Not won in the 3 most recent games.
Raith Rovers 10 games since last away draw.
