Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Following three consecutive draws in the League Two, Carlisle United will look to return to winning ways when they take on Chesterfield Town on Matchday 20. The Cumbrians are desperate to escape the relegation zone and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field this time out. The good news for the hosts is that Wales defender Benjamin Williams has overcome his minor injury.
The Spireites, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-0 win over Tranmere, but given their recent difficulties on the road, we predict that the relegation-threatened hosts are going to grab something from the match. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Cumbria. In their last meeting at Brunton Park Carlisle defeated Chesterfield 2-0, but a close encounter is on the cards this time out.
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.
