There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Carlisle as they are travelling to their away game against Sheffield United in the Carabao Cup. That match is three days after this one.

Carlisle United have prepared for this season with six friendly games versus mixed opposition. Results from training matches should always be treated with caution, but the takeaways from these six matches are 5 victories, 0 draws and 1 losses.

Colchester United form and stats

Let's have a look at how Colchester United performed last season in the League Two: They landed a 20th position in the league table after playing out 11 victories, 18 draws and 17 defeats. In total they scored 44 and conceded 61 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 11 and lost 11 with 12/35 goals scored/conceded.

Colchester United are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, five draws and five defeats. From a total of ten matches.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Colchester manager H. Mullins as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Birmingham City.

It's a day of discovery for Colchester as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Colchester United have played five with the results W0-D2-L3 (win-draw-lost). In these games Colchester United has scored 5 goals and conceded 11 times.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's four Carlisle victories, two draws and four Colchester United wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
