Carlisle are sat pretty comfortably in mid-table in League two but they did have a good streak of unbeaten form snapped in midweek as they were taken out by a rampant Luton. Still, overall the Cumbrians seem to be in pretty good shape. They probably won’t be too worried about the visit of Morecambe who will be feeling, even more, pressure near the relegation zone after seeing the two clubs beneath them both win in midweek. Carlisle are a good 13/20 odds on price to pick up the three points at home, with Morecambe at 4 to pick up a win.

Morecambe FCCarlisle Form
The Cumbrians had put together a good six-match streak of undefeated form in the league (W3 D3) before Luton went and ruined all in midweek. Still, for the most part, Carlisle have been doing a lot of positives recently and they have been scoring pretty well as well and they should be doing well in this one. Their home form hasn’t been great this season really, not from a winning perspective as they have gone W2 D4 L3 at Bruton Park this season. The Cumbrians are unbeaten in their last three on home soil, scoring eight goals in that three-match home sequence. Interestingly 73% of the goals that they have conceded at home this season have all come in the second half of matches. There’s a lot of improvement to come from them at home, but they have the joint fourth-worst home record in the entire division.
Morecambe Form
The Shrimps are floundering near the drop zone and after a midweek home defeat against Crewe will be feeling, even more pressure as both barnet and Chesterfield won their midweek fixtures. What all the means is that Morecambe are now just a point clear of the relegation zone. They are the lowest scorers in the division with just fourteen goals netted in their 19 fixtures. Away from home, they have only taken the one win this season, which was against bottom side Chesterfield, losing four of the other eight. The Shrimps have failed to score in five of their last six league games home and away now and they are averaging under a goal per game away from home as well.
Head to Head News
These two have already met this season as they came together in a Football League Trophy match which Carlisle won away. They are unbeaten in their last four then home and away against the Shrimps. In the last four League Two meetings specifically, Carlisle edge things with a W2 D1 L1 record and three of the last four have gone over the 2.5 goal line. From the previous thirteen games between these two in all competitions, eight have been drawn, with five wins for Carlisle and one only for the Shrimps.
Top Betting Tips
Carlisle have to be a bit of value to stick a win on the board in this one. They are up in the head to head against the Shrimps and can continue their positive form on home soil by collecting the three points in this one. The goals just aren’t there for the visitors to really challenge with.
