Salford City vs Carlisle Predictions

• Carlisle have lost their last two league games, and have failed to score in each of their last three.
• The visitors have the sixth-worst away record in League Two, winning on just three of their 13 road trips this campaign.
• Salford have won four of their last eight games.

Carlisle struggling for points, and goals

Carlisle United have failed to score in three successive league games, losing the last two, and have the most impotent attack in English football’s fourth tier. The Cumbrians have only scored 19 goals in their 27 league games this campaign, a dreadful record which has them sitting 20^th in the table.

Carlisle’s away record has been another reason for their poor campaign. Keith Millen’s charges have only won three times on their travels this season, in 13 attempts.

Salford City, meanwhile, maintain hopes of a play-off push, having won four of their last eight games. Salford lost away at Carlisle during a poor start to the season, and are yet to beat the Cumbrians in four competitive meetings. However, the class-of-92-owned outfit have a defensive record better than all bar six teams in the division, and will be confident of keeping out their impotent visitors.

Back Salford for a midweek win

Carlisle’s terrible attacking return, coupled with the fact that Salford have only lost three of their 14 home league games this season, should mean the hosts have enough about them to earn a valuable win.

Salford have only just about averaged more than a goal per game at home this term, however, so a 1-0 home win could prove a decent correct score prediction.
