Carlisle’s league form has hit a brick wall with them having lost back to back games to stunt their progress. So they will be keen to redress things here as they play host to the struggling Railwaymen on Saturday. Crewe have alternated between a loss and a win in their last six league games, will that sequence continue? If so, they are due for another away loss.

Crewe AlexandraCarlisle Form
Mid-table Carlisle have taken a couple of setbacks with back to back defeats suffered against Coventry and Mansfield heading into this one. That has left them too with just the one win their last four at Bruton Park (D1 L2) so they haven’t been going all that well. The Cumbrians have actually only won three times at home this season in total, but strangely each of those three wins, they scored at least three goals in. They certainly need a boost here and they aren’t the most reliable of sides at the back. Carlisle have taken a clean sheet in just 15% of their home fixtures in League Two this season.
Crewe Form
The Railwaymen are still fighting to stave off relegation concerns and they are W3 L3 in their last six, alternating between defeat and victory in that sequence of games. Two of those wins were at home and they have a tremendously poor W3 D0 L9 record away from home this season in the division. They have only put the ten league away goals on the board this season while they have conceded at a rate of over a goal and a half per game away from home. 70% of the away goals that they have scored on their travels have come in the first half of matches. Of note, each of the three away wins this season have all been with a clean sheet. Under 2.5 goals has to be value in this fixture.
Head to Head News
