Prediction: 1-1
Accrington
Carlisle United and Accrington Stanley square off against each other at Brunton Park in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The Cumbrians failed to win the previous six league matches and given their difficulties in front of goal, home win should not be considered. Adding to their woes, Jonathan Mellish misses Sunday’s clash through suspension following his sending-off in a 1-0 loss to Morecambe.
The Accy Stanley, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Salford. The visitors are eager to put an end to their six-game winless run in League Two and given Carlisle’s need for points, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Republic of Ireland forward Dara Costelloe is rated doubtful for the visiting side after limping off with injury in the Boxing Day defeat.
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.
