It's early days in the League Two and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

It's no vacation for neither Carlisle United 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

Only two home games for Carlisle United so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

The fans are hoping that Carlisle United will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the League Two game against Cheltenham Town. Preceding that match was a defeat to Mansfield Town (0-2).

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 twelve games. Carlisle United has won 6 of these, drawn 4 and lost 2.

The manager S. Pressley will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Rochdale in only three days.

Early season goal statistics from Carlisle United's 2 home games: 2 goals, 3 conceded.

Salford City form and stats

Still no away game victory for Salford City with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Plymouth Argyle in their previous outing. The League Two match ended in a draw 2-2. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Port Vale.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Salford City in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Salford City, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

2 goals so far away for Salford City, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 4. All from 2 matches.
