Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Tuesday’s football game at Brunton Park pits together Carlisle United and Peterborough, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Cumbrians are on a four-game winless run in the League One and they are eager to get back on course as soon as possible. Keep in mind, though, that first-choice goalkeeper Jokull Andresson is banned for the match. Tomas Holy is likely to step up.
The Posh, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Bristol Rovers. The promotion-chasing visitors have been in a much better form of late than Carlisle United and we predict that they are going to showcase their worth on the field. Barring any fresh injury worries, Darren Ferguson is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Pirates at the weekend. The Scottish tactician should stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation.
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.
