Yet another engaging game in the League Two. Carlisle United is in the 12th spot from participating in five fixtures. They welcome Salford City who are placed 16th from five fixtures.
- Carlisle United have not yet lost a game at home.
- Salford City have lost all their away matches so far.
It's no vacation for neither Carlisle nor Salford City as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Carlisle United form and stats
Carlisle United have less points than they have played home games in the League Two so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 2 points. Carlisle have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
Carlisle drew their last game, also a home match. Hartlepool United (placed 5th) was the opponent, 3-3 the score. A disappointing finish for Carlisle in their match versus Hartlepool United as their 3-1 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 3-3 full time score. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? The hometeam coach C. Beech made a successful contribution in the game against Hartlepool United, bringing on T. Abrahams who scored the equalizer in the 3-3 draw.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Hartlepool United (1-2).This is expected to be a close game, with Carlisle 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 nine games. Carlisle United has won four of these, drawn three and lost two.
Carlisle United has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Salford City form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the League Two ended in defeat. Last season Salford City had these away match statistics: Played 23; won 8, drew 3 and lost 12.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Salford, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Oldham Athletic (placed 23rd).
That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus Newport County in the League Two.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Salford City playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were one Salford win, one draw and six defeats.
Salford City have the goal stats of 1-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last three matches): Carlisle one win, two draws and Salford City zero victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.Top Goalscorers
