This match features two teams living in the basement of the League Two, Morecambe holding 24th place and Carlisle United lying 21st. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

With 1 League Two win, 3 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Morecambe, who have the most conceded goals (35) in League Two, are certainly not brimming with confidence.
