Prediction: 1-2
Barrow
Following back-to-back defeats to Gillingham in League Two and Stoke in EFL Cup, Carlisle will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Barrow on Matchday 2. The Cumbrians suffered a heavy 4-1 loss to Gillingham in their League Two opener and given their poor display in the EFL Cup loss to Stoke City, home win should not be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Crewe and Port Vale and given Carlisle’s shaky defence, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. Emile Acquah is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the EFL Cup triumph over the Valiants on Tuesday evening.
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.
