Carlisle United

WLLLLL 🔻

Carlisle United will be wanting a better result here following a 0-2 EFL Cup loss in their previous game against Stoke City.

In that match, Carlisle United had 37% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Stoke City had 12 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Freddie Anderson (48') and Emre Tezgel (79') scored for Stoke City.

It’s not been often in recent times where Carlisle United have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Carlisle United have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 12 goals in the process.

Ahead of this clash, Carlisle United haven’t won at home in the past 10 matches in the league. It's been disappointing.

Barrow

DLLDWW 🌤

Barrow head into the encounter following on from a 3-2 EFL Cup win with the eclipse of Port Vale in their previous outing.

In that game, Barrow had 43% possession and 20 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. For Barrow, the goals were scored by Gerard Garner (1'), Emile Acquah (70') and Ben Jackson (76'). Port Vale had 5 shots on goal with 5 on target. Ruari Paton (26') and Tom Sang (66') scored for Port Vale.

The numbers tell their own story, and Barrow have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, conceding 11 goals in total. In defence, Barrow certainly have room for improvement. Such a pattern might not be sustained into this next game, however.

Coming into this meeting, Barrow are without an away win for the past 10 league games. What a terrible run of away results.

🤜🤛 Head to head

A look at their prior head to head meetings going back to 10/04/2021 shows us that Carlisle United have won 3 of these and Barrow 1, with the tally of drawn results being 2.
