Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Saturday’s football match at Brunton Park pits together Carlisle United and Doncaster Rovers. The Cumbrians failed to win the previous nine home games in all competitions and they face yet another uphill task against the Donny. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team. Head coach Mike Williamson is likely to stick to the 3-4-2-1 formation.
Meanwhile, the visitors are undefeated in the previous five games. Doncaster Rovers are eager to retain their spot in top three and we predict that they will take advantage of Carlisle’s poor home record. Speaking of the away team, veteran Billy Sharp should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Salford City. In their last meeting in the League Two Doncaster defeated Carlisle 2-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
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. When playing at Brunton Park Carlisle United footballers wear blue shirts and blue shorts, while their away kit is sky blue.
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. Carlisle United recorded their biggest win against Hartlepool United (8-0) on September 1, 1928, with the team suffering their heaviest defeat to Hull City (1-11) on January 14, 1939.
