Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Carlisle play host to Morecambe at their Brunton Park on day 22 of the new League Two campaign. The Cumbrians aim to put an end to their five-game winless run and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field this time out. Talented forward Daniel Adu Adjei is widely expected to start the Boxing Day clash after coming as a substitute in a goalless draw with Port Vale, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
Meanwhile, the Shrimps are on a three-game losing run in the League Two. As Morecambe failed to find the net in the previous four fixtures in all competitions, we are tempted to place our bets on Carlisle. Barbados forward Hallam Hope should be recalled to Morecambe’s starting XI after the 30-year-old was rested in a 2-0 loss to Bromley at the weekend.
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.
