Carlisle United form and stats

Carlisle United are steadily winning League Two games and points here at Brunton Park. 9 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats is the summary from 14 games. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Carlisle with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Salford City game, 17 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Game days at Brunton Park have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Carlisle as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Prior to that, an away loss at Colchester United.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League Two game versus Bradford City in only four days. This game is also played here at Brunton Park.

Goals decide football matches and Carlisle are scoring many of them at home; 28 on target from 14 league matches. Carlisle's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 19 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Grimsby Town form and stats

Grimsby Town, who have the the worst goal difference (-28) in League Two, have only collected 11 points from their away games in the League Two, after 3-2-10 (15 played). It's all red in the travel logs of Grimsby, having lost seven matches in a row as the visiting team. Recent form does not give Grimsby Town much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Carlisle United will be a tough nut to crack.

A 0-1 loss hosting Leyton Orient before that.

A quick return to home after this game, as Grimsby are hosting Colchester United in the League Two only four days away.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Grimsby as they have only managed to score 11 times from 15 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Grimsby have conceded 27 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
