Carlisle United form and stats

Carlisle United lost their last game at Stevenage (placed 2nd) after a 1-2 scoreline. Up until that game this club had gone seven consecutive league matches without losing. Dennis has beaten the opponent goalkeeper in five matches in a row. Impressive! The forward Dennis bettered all teammates in that fixture and received a match rating of 7.85 out of 10. Dennis scored one goal and hit two key passes.
In the match before that, Carlisle hosted Swindon Town and drew the game 1-1.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Carlisle United have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 7 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 3 and lost 2.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Carlisle as they have a new game in only three days, a EFL Trophy match thankfully also at home. Manchester United U21 are visiting.
