Carlisle United form and stats

Carlisle United have only collected 4 points from their away games in the League Two, after 1-1-4 (6 played). A depressing four defeats in a row for Carlisle United in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Port Vale.

Carlisle have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 360 minutes ago. B. Dickenson was the goal scorer.

Carlisle United might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Tranmere Rovers proved too strong as Carlisle slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Brunton Park. Goalkeeper Mark Howard got the top player rating of the team with 7.72/10. Howard saved a penalty and stopped the opponent with four saves.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Bristol Rovers wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

Carlisle are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, four draws and one defeat. From a total of six matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Carlisle are hosting Oldham Athletic in the League Two only four days away.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Carlisle as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league. The Carlisle manager C. Beech has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the last ten meetings featuring these two teams are: three wins for Newport, three draws and four wins for Carlisle United. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
