Prediction: 2-1
Bradford
Carlisle United and Bradford City take on each other at Brunton Park on day 27 of the current League Two campaign. The Cumbrians are stuck at the bottom with only 18 points on their account, meaning that Saturday’s clash is of big importance for Mike Williamson’s men. The 41-year-old tactician has no fresh injury worries and it has to be noted that his men have not been in action since January 4, when they suffered a 1-0 loss to Tranmere.
The Bantams, on the other hand, defeated Aston Villa U21 in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday evening and they are seen as favourites to win Saturday’s League Two game as well. Home win, though, should be considered this time out as Carlisle want this triumph more than Bradford. Graham Alexander is likely to field the best possible side against the Cumbrians after resting several first-team regulars in the midweek triumph.
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.
