Cheltenham Town - Carlisle United predictions

Though Cheltenham Town are the favourites between these two teams, this is a fairly balanced matchup. All three possible outcomes of a Result bet are quite possible, which at least means we may get to see an exciting game.

The visitors are fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead. A win against Cheltenham Town on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy task.

Cheltenham Town won their previous match by a 1-goal margin – which is more than anyone hoped to expect from them. Despite playing on home turf, the matchup against Portsmouth was considered almost impossible. Cheltenham Town proved everyone wrong, though, and turned a draw result at half-time into a stunning 2:1 triumph.

Carlisle United never stood much of a chance against Barnsley in the previous round, so the lead they took in the first half was a big surprise. Sadly, though, they lost all momentum in the second half, resulting in a 2:1 away defeat.

Cheltenham Town leave quite the impression whenever we see them play in front of their fans at Jonny-Rocks Stadium. They scored more than 5 goals in total the last 3 times they did so, which is a solidly impressive record.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Carlisle United have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the League One. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

These two teams already clashed this season, and Cheltenham Town walked away with a solid away win. It was fairly narrow, though, giving Carlisle United supporters some hope for this game despite the unfavourable matchup.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.45, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
