Prediction: 2-2
Oxford United
Brunton Park will host Saturday’s football game between Carlisle United and Oxford United, the two teams with totally different ambitions for the remainder of the season. The relegation-threatened Cumbrians aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Exeter, but keep in mind that they have recorded only three wins at home this term. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Oxford, but Daniel Butterworth could sneak into the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the last league fixture.
The Yellows, meanwhile, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Coventry City (FA Cup) and AFC Wimbledon (EFL Trophy). As the promotion-chasing visitors will go for a victory as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Carlisle defenders should have Mark Harris at bay as the Wales forward has found his goal-scoring touch of late.
Highlighted Player (Elliott Moore):
Born in Coalville, England on March 16, 1997 Elliott Moore is an English footballer who plays for Oxford United as a centre-back. Moore has one cap with the England U18 team, while making two appearances for the England U20 team.
The 196-cm tall defender is a product of Leicester City football school, joining the club at the age of 6, but he did not enjoy a first-team football with the Foxes. He made his first appearances for Leicester City senior team on July 19, 2017 against WBA at the Asia Trophy. After spending a couple of seasons on loan at OH Leuven, Elliott Moore returned to England in the summer of 2019, signing a contract with League One side Oxford United.
Moore made his League One debut against Sunderland on August 3, 2019. The two teams played out a 1-1 draw at Stadium of Light in the opening match of the season, with Elliott Moore coming from the bench in the dying minutes of the game.
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. When playing at Brunton Park Carlisle United footballers wear blue shirts and blue shorts, while their away kit is sky blue.
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.
The Cumbrians repeated the success 14 years later (2010/11) as they defeated Brentford 1-0, thanks to Peter Michael Murphy’s goal. Carlisle United recorded their biggest win against Hartlepool United (8-0) on September 1, 1928, with the team suffering their heaviest defeat to Hull City (1-11) on January 14, 1939.
