Prediction: 1-1
Crawley
Carlisle United and Crawley Town face each other at Brunton Park in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. The Cumbrians aim to build on a 2-0 win over Bradford City, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive league win. Since Carlisle do not want to give up on their playoffs dream, we believe that home win should be considered. New signing Omari Patrick is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the last league match.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating the likes of Leyton, Colchester, and Northampton in the last three league fixtures. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at Brunton Park, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. Fit-again midfielder Jack Payne could sneak into Crawley Town’s starting XI this time out.
Highlighted Player (Magnus Norman ):
Magnus Norman is a talented goalkeeper who plays for Carlisle United in the League Two, the fourth tier of the English football system. Born in London on January 19, 1997, Norman is a product of his hometown club Fulham.
Despite being a Fulham player from 2014 to 2020, the shot-stopper did not see any game action with the Cottagers at senior level. After spending a couple of years on loan at the likes of Farnborough, Hayes and Yeading United, Southport, and Rochdale, he signed a two-year deal with Carlisle United on August 7, 2020.
Magnus Norman represented England at under-18 youth level, but he has yet to receive a call-up for the senior team. The Carlisle United goalkeeper made his debut with the club in an EFL Trophy clash against Sunderland on October 6, 2020. The Black Cats won the game 5-3. Magnus Norman wears the No. 1 shirt at Carlisle United.
