Carlisle United
WDLLWW
Carlisle United, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 0-2 League Two victory over Morecambe.
For Carlisle United, the goalscorers were Georgie Kelly (28') and Terell Thomas (60').
It has been a rare occasion in recent times that Carlisle United have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Carlisle United have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 10 goals along the way.
Looking at their past form shows that Carlisle United:
- haven't lost in the league to Port Vale in their previous 2 matches.
- are unbeaten in their last 3 league matches at home.
Port Vale
WLWWWW 📈
Port Vale go into this encounter following a 5-0 League Two win in the defeat of Bromley in their last match.
For Port Vale, goals were scored by Jack Shorrock (5'), Lorent Tolaj (28', 68'), George Byers (66') and Ryan Croasdale (82').
A series of effective showings from the Port Vale defensive unit has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 3 from their previous 6 fixtures combined. During the same period, their forwards have scored 12. That being said, we’ll just have to find out whether the trend might be sustained in this next game or not.
Coming into this meeting, Port Vale are unbeaten in their previous 2 league matches away from home.
🤜🤛 Head to head
Inspecting their past head to head clashes going back to 17/04/2021 shows that Carlisle United have won 1 of them and Port Vale 2, with the tally of draws being 3.
A combined sum of 8 goals were shared by the two clubs in these games, with 3 of them from The Cumbrians and 5 created by The Valiants. The average goals per game has been 1.33.
The last league clash featuring these clubs was League Two match day 21 on 21/12/2024 when the final score was Port Vale 0-0 Carlisle United.
The referee was Edward Duckworth.
🗞️ Team News: Port Vale
Owing to an otherwise full-strength group of players, there’s just the lone fitness issue for the Port Vale manager Darren Moore to contend with. Mitch Clark (Cartilage damage) won’t be playing here.
💡 Prediction
When taking everything into account, Carlisle United might need a bit of good fortune to hit the back of the net against this Port Vale team who we reckon will gain the upper hand.
We therefore see a good battle with a 0-1 winning score for Port Vale when the referee blows for full-time.
Let’s see how this one goes.
