Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Sutton welcome Carlisle United at their Gander Green Lane in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. Sutton are eyeing their third consecutive win at home ground, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s football match. However, they will have to do it without attacker Tobi Sho-Silva this time out as the 26-year-old limped off with injury in the 2-0 loss to Exeter.
The Cumbrians, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Scunthorpe. Carlisle United are eager to return to winning ways as well, which is probably the main reason why both teams to score betting option should be considered. The Cumbrians defender Joe Riley is unlikely to feature for the visitors, as he suffered an injury in the 2-2 draw with Scunthorpe.
Highlighted Player (Magnus Norman ):
Magnus Norman is a talented goalkeeper who plays for Carlisle United in the League Two, the fourth tier of the English football system. Born in London on January 19, 1997, Norman is a product of his hometown club Fulham.
Despite being a Fulham player from 2014 to 2020, the shot-stopper did not see any game action with the Cottagers at senior level. After spending a couple of years on loan at the likes of Farnborough, Hayes and Yeading United, Southport, and Rochdale, he signed a two-year deal with Carlisle United on August 7, 2020.
Magnus Norman represented England at under-18 youth level, but he has yet to receive a call-up for the senior team. The Carlisle United goalkeeper made his debut with the club in an EFL Trophy clash against Sunderland on October 6, 2020. The Black Cats won the game 5-3. Magnus Norman wears the No. 1 shirt at Carlisle United.

The Cumbrians maintain a rivalry with Workington And Barrow, but it has to be noted that the two clubs have not met in the Football League since the 1970s. Carlisle United won their first Football League Trophy in the 1996/97 season, with the team beating Colchester United 4-3 on penalties.
