This should be quite a fixture, with Carlisle United placed 5th and Barrow in 4th. Read our preview!
- Carlisle United have won significantly more corners at home than away.
- Barrow have the most scored goals in the first half (18) in League Two
This should be an interesting game with lots of fun and bustle as both contenders are well renewed since they last saw competitive action. Let's start!
Carlisle United form and stats
4 victories, 5 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Carlisle United have to build on here at Brunton Park in the League Two. Carlisle United have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
The home club members saw a 1-1 draw versus Sutton United last time out and are looking for a win here. The versatile forward Edmondson outdid all teammates in that fixture and got a match rating of 7.44 out of 10. Edmondson scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Before that, a defeat in the away fixture against Walsall in the FA Cup. This is expected to be a close game, with Carlisle United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Carlisle United as a small favourite), we find 9 games. Carlisle has won 3 of these, drawn 5 and lost 1.
Carlisle United has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. Carlisle are not conceding a lot of goals here at Brunton Park in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 10 matches.
Barrow form and stats
Barrow have only collected 10 points from their away games in the League Two, after 3-1-6 (10 played). Barrow has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
There might be some fixture complaints from Barrow as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 0-5 against Stevenage. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Stevenage was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
A defeat, in the EFL Trophy away at Bolton Wanderers, earlier. So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Barrow playing away and similar expectations, we found 11 relevant matches. Results were 2 Barrow wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats.
The attacking power of Barrow when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 10 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Barrow's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 16 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Last five meetings with these teams: Carlisle won two, Barrow triumphed in one and we saw two draws. two games with more than 2,5 goals, three matches with under 2,5 goals.
