Inverness 13/10 to beat Alloa and over 2.5 goals in Tuesday’s Scottish Championship clash

Competition: Scottish Championship

Market: Inverness win and over 2.5 goals

Odds: 13/10 @ Bet 365

With the chance to shore up their position in the top-four, Inverness will host a struggling Alloa side at Caledonian on Tuesday night.

Starting with the resurgent hosts, along with having an FA Cup semi-final to look forward to next month, the mood in Inverness’ camp appears to be at a season high. Picking up a 2-1 win away at Partick Thistle last week and climbing back into the playoff positions, John Robertson’s side have now won their last three matches on the bounce and another victory in midweek will see them leapfrog Ayr to third place. A huge part of their recent success has been their on-going form in the final third. Inverness have now scored two goals in each of their last three victories and they also scored twice the last time they faced Alloa back in August.

As for the visitors, while Inverness might be enjoying a battle at the top of the table, Alloa are enduring their own battle at the other end. Now sat three points adrift of safety and occupying the automatic relegation position, they once again struggled in their 2-1 loss away at Dundee last week. With player/manager Jim Goodwin now seeing his side remarkably lose seven of their last eight contests, a run that stems back to the start of January, it has been Alloa’s on-going defensive issues behind their struggles. Tuesday’s visitors have conceded two or more goals in eight of their last nine matches on the road and have not recorded an away clean sheet in 2019.
