Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Arbroath (19:05)
As Dick Campbell's side secured their spot in the play-off semi-final, they've not played a match since April 29th.
Inverness have had two playoff games already since then, knocking out Partick Thistle 3-1 on aggregate.
After the relentless campaign both sides had in the league, Abroath's extra week and a few days off could end up making all the difference over two legs.
No side who finished third or fourth in the Championship has ever won promotion through the playoffs since they were introduced...

Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Arbroath (19:05)
On this season’s head-to-head form, it may be advantage Inverness.
4 games have been contested between the slides in the Scottish Championship with Thistle winning two, Arbroath with one victory, and a goalless stalemate in there.
On the first day of the season, Inverness were 1-0 victors courtesy of a Shane Sutherland strike. Arbroath won the next fixture by the same scoreline courtesy of a Michael McKenna goal.
A goalless statement was then followed in the most recent fixture by a thumping 3-0 win for Inverness — Shane Sutherland, Reece McAlear, and Billy Mckay with the goals.
