Our prediction for this match: Carlisle United 2 - 2 Salford
Carlisle United vs Salford Preview
A place in the FA Cup second round will be at stake when Carlisle United and Salford City lock horns. The Cumbrians head into the encounter high on confidence, having won their last four matches in all competitions, including a 2-1 victory over Tamworth in the previous FA Cup round. Kenya international Micah Obiero will be one to watch for the hosts after scoring as a substitute in the 4-2 win over Altrincham, and he is expected to return to the starting XI.
Salford, meanwhile, are enjoying an even more impressive run, having won eight consecutive League Two matches to climb to the top of the standings. The Lions recorded a 2-1 victory over Exeter at the weekend, but Luke Molyneux picked up a knock and is unlikely to be risked. Daniel Udoh is expected to step up if Molyneux fails to recover in time. Salford have also been particularly prolific away from home, averaging 2.60 goals per game in their last five outings.
Both sides are in excellent form, suggesting a closely contested cup tie with chances at both ends. Therefore, Salford or Draw is our main betting tip, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Both teams to score (landed in eight of the last nine head-to-head meetings between these sides).
This FA Cup match will be played on Saturday, 7 November 2026 at 15:00 in Brunton Park, Carlisle, England.
