Prediction: 1-2
Blackpool
Carlisle United and Blackpool take on each other at Brunton Park on day 44 of the current League One campaign. The Cumbrians did well to beat Cheltenham Town thanks to Sam Lavelle’s goal, but that did not help them avoid relegation to League Two. Even though there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, defender Jack Ellis could sneak into the starting XI.
The Seasiders, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Cambridge United and Fleetwood Town. As Blackpool are eager to stay in the playoffs race, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. In the first half of the season Blackpool outplayed Carlisle United 3-0 at Bloomfield Road and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Neil Critchley is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Cod Army.
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.
