Prediction: 1-2
Port Vale
Brunton Park will host Monday’s football game between Carlisle United and Port Vale, the two bottom-table sides. The Cumbrians are desperate to move away from the rock-bottom position and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Valiants. Keep in mind, though, that the rock-bottom side are on a four-match winless run at home. Paul Simpson has no fresh injury worries ahead of the first game of the year.
The Valiants, on the other hand, did well to beat Blackpool 3-0 in their last league match, with the triumph giving them a confidence boost. Port Vale aim to give fans yet another reason to celebrate and we predict that they will take advantage of Carlisle’s shaky defence. Andrew Crosby is unlikely to make changes to the team that outplayed the Seasiders on Friday. In their last meeting in the English third tier Port Vale defeated Carlisle thanks to James Wilson’s goal.
Highlighted Team (Carlisle):
Founded in May 1904, Carlisle United are a professional football club that have one of the biggest stadiums in the League 2. Brunton Park is the club’s home ground, and it can hold up to 18,202 spectators.

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.
