Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Carlisle
Match Time & Date:
31/01/2023
02:45 PM
Prediction: 2-1
Barrow
Brunton Park will host Tuesday’s postponed fixture between Carlisle United and Barrow, the two top-table sides. The Cumbrians are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, and they must be high on spirits ahead of the midweek clash. Kristian Dennis should be recalled to the starting XI after finding the net in a 1-0 win over Rochdale, Jack Stretton has yet to overcome his injury.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Northampton, and given Carlisle’s flying start to 2023, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. As for the visiting team, there are no fresh injury worries ahead of the trip to Cumbria. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier Carlisle United recorded a 2-1 win over Barrow, and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Player (Tomas Holy):
Born in the town of Rychnov nad Kneznou, Czechoslovakia, Tomas Holy is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a Goalkeeper for Ipswich Town in League One. The 27-year-old was born on the 10th of December, 1991, and joined FC Hradec Kralove's youth academy in 2006. After spending four years with them, he signed for Sparta Prague and started playing for its B team.
His first professional appearance for AC Sparta Prague B came on the 11th of June, 2011, in a 1-2 home loss against FK Varnsdorf. He went on to ply his trade-in Czech football for the next six years before moving to Gillingham in England on the 20th of January, 2017, on a two and a half year contract. Gillingham's manager praised the 2.06m tall goalkeeper's "large presence" and "ball-kicking ability," stating them as reasons behind his recruitment. In his time at Gillingham, Holy made 107 appearances and kept 25 clean sheets in all competitions.
On the 24th of May, 2019, Holy joined Ipswich on a free transfer and made an immediate impact. He kept six clean sheets in his first ten league games for Ipswich, including a run of five consecutive clean sheets, a club record. Internationally, Holy has capped at the under-16, under-17, and under-18 level for his country but is yet to receive a call up for the first team.
