Carlisle United form and stats

This is not the first game this season in the EFL Trophy for Carlisle, as the manager K. Millen led his troops to eliminate Hartlepool United, Morecambe and Everton U21, and reach the 2nd Round. Carlisle participated in EFL Trophy the last season, where they reached the group stage.

Carlisle United have collected 11 points from their League Two home games so far after 2-5-3. On the other hand, in the EFL Trophy, Carlisle United has performed like this (both home and away): 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.

The Carlisle United supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Walsall in League Two and win 1-0. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of K. Millen when Tristan Abrahams scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 63rd minute. The goalie Mark Howard was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.34 out of ten. Howard stopped the opponent with five saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Preceding that match was the home League Two game against Harrogate Town that was lost 0-2.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Carlisle as they have a new game in only four days, a FA Cup match thankfully also at home. Shrewsbury Town are visiting.

Carlisle aren't scoring a lot here at Brunton Park in the league, with only 6 goals from 10 games. From these home matches, Carlisle have conceded only 9 goals.

Lincoln City form and stats

The traveling awayteam has defeated Bradford City, Sunderland and Manchester United U21 in order to reach 2nd round of EFL Trophy. They also participated in EFL Trophy last season. This ended in the semi-finals.

The story so far for the visiting team on their League One travels is 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats. When we have look at the EFL Trophy statistics, we find 2W-0D-1L. This is both home and away.

Lincoln have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 317 minutes ago. C. McGrandles was the goal scorer.

Lincoln City might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Accrington Stanley proved too strong as Lincoln slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Sincil Bank Stadium. Conor McGrandles got a match rating of 7.32 in that game, top player of the team. McGrandles hit two key passes and had 48 successful passes (of 60 total).

The game before that, in the League One, was lost at home, a 0-3 defeat against Portsmouth.

After this away game Lincoln return home for a FA Cup game against Hartlepool United. That game is only four sleeps after this.

The visiting Lincoln City have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 12 goals from 9 games. Lincoln have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
