Prediction: 1-0
Hartlepool
Brunton Park will host Tuesday’s League Two game between Carlisle and Hartlepool. The Cumbrians recorded a very important win over Newport at the weekend, with the team moving closer to automatic promotion berth. Carlisle are eyeing their third consecutive win in front of home fans, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Goalkeeper Scott Simons remains in the recovery room, alongside strike Jack Stretton, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Pools, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Rochdale, and they managed to get one. The visiting team aim to escape the danger zone, but given Carlisle’s fine form, home win should be considered. As for the away side, both Mikael Ndjoli and Euan Murray are rated doubtful through illness, while Jake Hastie is back to contention.

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.

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.

On the 24th of May, 2019, Holy joined Ipswich on a free transfer and made an immediate impact.
