Prediction: 2-1
Cheltenham
Carlisle United and Cheltenham Town square off against each other at Brunton Park on day 23 of the new League One campaign. The Cumbrians failed to win the previous six league matches, with the team obviously struggling at the back, but the bookies still see them as favourites to beat the Robins in front of home fans. Experienced forward Joe Garner has overcome his injury, while Ryan Edmondson is pushing for a start after finding the net in the last league match.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their three-game winless run in the English third tier. Considering that the Robins have already suffered seven defeats on the road this season, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s clash. Wales defender Benjamin Williams misses out through suspension for the visiting team.
