Carlisle United vs Portsmouth Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

One look at the Stats box above and we think pretty much anyone would draw the same conclusion as us in what we should tip. We are backing both teams to score when Carlisle host Portsmouth this weekend and this is available at a very reasonable 4/6 with bet365. For our correct score tip we can’t see anything to split the sides and we are going with a 1-1 draw, which is available at 11/2 with bet365.

It’s now 16 games in a row where Carlisle have been involved in matches where both teams have scored, and with no clean sheet in their last 20 matches it looks like that sequence isn’t going to end anytime soon. The Cumbrians have also been particularly strong on home soil this season and they have scored in every one of their league games at Brunton Park so far, a stat which will go a large way to explaining why they have the second best home record in all of League Two.

Visiting Brunton Park is a Portsmouth side who are still within touch of the automatic promotion spots as we enter the business end of the season. They know that three points on Saturday will go a large way to their promotion hopes and with five goals coming from their previous three games they will be fully confident against a side which isn’t known for it’s defensive strength.

Both teams scoring is also something that has a bit of a history of happening in this fixture, as six of the previous eight meetings between these sides have finished up this way.
