National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Carlisle United or Everton U21 that keep their silverware dream alive.
Not much time to rest for the home side, as they performed in a League Two match only three days earlier. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Sutton United.
Carlisle United form and stats
Carlisle was eliminated in the group stage last season in the EFL Trophy.Carlisle United have played 4 League Two games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-3-0 (wins-draws-losses).
No payout for Carlisle in their previous match, an away game at Sutton United that ended in defeat 0-4. As you see from the result above, Carlisle suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Midfield player Joe Riley got a match rating of 7.04 in that game, the max score being 10. Riley dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
In the match before that, Carlisle hosted Scunthorpe United and drew the League Two game 2-2.There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Carlisle United, as the League Two home game vs Forest Green Rovers is only four days away.
Carlisle United are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games. On the other hand, Carlisle have conceded 4 goals.
Everton U21 form and stats
Last season their EFL Trophy adventure ended in the 2nd round.Playing away, Everton U21 have won 4 games, drawn 3 and suffered 4 defeats in the Premier League U21 this season.
It's the second away game in a row for Everton, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Morecambe in the EFL Trophy last time out. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager F. Jeffers when S. McAllister scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 57th minute.
A 0-4 loss hosting Fleetwood Town before that.Everton have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 14 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Everton have seen the ball go into their own net 15 times on the road.
