Prediction: 2-2
Reading
Brunton Park will host Saturday’s football game between Carlisle United and Reading, the two relegation-threatened teams. The Cumbrians desperately needed a win against Burton and they managed to get one, but, as things stand now, the midweek triumph is unlikely to help the team avoid relegation. Josh Vela suffered an injury against the Brewers, with Alfie McCalmont likely to step up.
The Royals, on the other hand, are eager to make amends for a 3-2 loss to Shrewsbury. As both sides will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s relegation six-pointer, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Cumbria. In the first half of the season Reading defeated Carlisle 5-1 at Select Car Leasing stadium and yet another high-scoring contest is on the horizon.
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.
