Carlisle United vs Barnet Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

With both sides having aspirations of a promotion winning season we are going to the goals market when Carlisle host Barnet this weekend. For our tip we are backing a combination bet of over 2.5 goals and both teams to score at evens with bet365. For our correct score tip we are going with a successful trip for Barnet and are backing them to win 2-1 at 11/1 with the same site.

Both teams to score seems to be the order of the day when looking at Carlisle fixtures as their last 11 matches in the league has finished up this way. It’s also something that has followed them around for most of the campaign, as a massive 78% of their matches this season has finished with both teams managing to find the back of the net. That high figure is also one which is mirrored in the visitors records as 69% of their away games this season has seen both teams score.

With bet365 offering just 8/13 for both teams to score this weekend, it is perhaps unsurprising that they have priced it this way, given the frequency of this happening. With both teams quite high in the offensive stats and both teams having fairly modest defensive records, we feel that an easy boost to our return would be to combine the bet with the over 2.5 option.

If this bet is going to land, it is something which will have to go against the general trend of results when these sides have met in the past. Just eight of the 21 games have finished with both teams scoring and the last two results have finished with just one goal scored.
