Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Carlisle United and Barrow square off against each other at Brunton Park in the League Two round 21. The Cumbrians are undefeated in the previous five league matches, but they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to secure a top-three finish. Top scorer Kristian Dennis will continue to lead the line for the hosts despite failing to find the net in the last league match.
Meanwhile, the Bluebirds experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-0 loss to Stevenage, which is probably the main reason why we are going to beat on Carlisle United this time out. Barrow boss Pete Wild should opt to make changes to the team that suffered the heavy defeat at the weekend, with all Foley, Bennett, and Nwabuokei pushing for a start. In their last meeting in the League Two Carlisle defeated Barrow 2-1.
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.
