Carlisle vs Fleetwood Town Predictions

• Carlisle scored in nine of their last 12 games of the 2019/20 season.
• Both teams scored in three of Fleetwood’s last four away matches.
• Fleetwood kept just four clean sheets in their last 11 fixtures at the back end of the previous campaign.

Both teams to score worth backing

Carlisle United endured a 2019/20 campaign littered with inconsistency, though the Cumbrians did show improvement towards the end of the season, rattling the net at least once in nine of their final 12 fixtures.

The hosts seem to carry enough attacking threat to cause a superior Fleetwood outfit a problem or two, especially when you consider that Town closed out last term by keeping just four clean sheets in 11 attempts.

Joey Barton’s men, who reached the playoffs last term, are modest goalscorers, but while they rarely cut loose in the final third, Fleetwood just as rarely fail to make an impact on the scoresheet.

Town found the net in 10 of their last 11 matches of the 2019/20 season, and their greater class should allow them to find joy up front against Carlisle. With those factors considered, backing both teams to score looks a smart approach at the prices quoted, while our correct score prediction points towards at 2-1 away victory.
