Prediction: 1-2
Wycombe
Carlisle and Wycombe take on each other at Brunton Park in the penultimate game of the regular season. The Cumbrians failed to secure the League One survival, meaning that they are low on spirits ahead of Saturday’s clash. Jack Robinson limped off with injury in a 1-0 loss to Blackpool, with John-Lloyd Harris likely to replace him in the starting XI.
The Chairboys, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Shrewsbury Town and Port Vale and seeing that Carlisle boss Paul Simpson is likely to mix the squad against Wycombe, we are tempted to bet on the visiting team. As for the visiting team, Kieran Sadlier is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match. You should bear in mind that Wycombe defeated Carlisle 2-0 when the two teams met at Adams Park earlier this term.
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.

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.
