Chesterfield may already be planning trips to the likes of Maidstone and Halifax next season in the National League unless they start turning things around. They are still glued to the bottom of League Two after yet another defeat on the weekend. Carlisle are bouncing along in some good away form at the moment and should have a good crack at three points in this one. The travelling Cumbrians are 6/5 with Ladbrokes to pick up the win, with Chesterfield at 2/1.

Carlisle FCChesterfield Form
The Spireites are spiralling out of control again. After a glimmer of hope in midweek last week with a win at Crawley, they fell to a defeat against Cambridge on the weekend. That has left them with a W1 L7 record in their last eight league games now. At home, their record for the season is W1 D1 L5 and they have only scored the six goals in that sequence of home games. It’s not been great from them and they have been ahead at the break in just one home fixture this term. They are yet to score a goal in the first half hour of a league fixture this season remarkably.
Carlisle Form
The Cumbrians have a little pep in their step as they have won their last three away games and all of them with a clean sheet as well. So they are starting to find their feet it would seem after a less than ideal start to the season. They are W3 D2 L2 in their last seven but in their last two games have seen them earn back to back draws against Wycombe and Notts County, both very strong opponents. Overall away from home this season Carlisle have posted a W4 D0 L3 record and will be fancied here.
Head to Head News
These two clubs haven’t met up in the league since the 2011/12 League One season. Home wins were traded on that occasion. They did meet in the 2015 Capital One Cup with Carlisle winning 3-1 on home soil. Each of the last four games between these in all competitions have ended over three goals. Carlisle have lost just one of their last seven against the Spireites (W3 D3 L1).
Top Betting Tips
Carlisle are well worth a punt in this one. They have been going well out on the road against some other opposition in the bottom half of the table recently, and there is no reason why they can’t see off a low-scoring Chesterfield. Away win.
