Recent respective form guides

Carlisle United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Cumbrians have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Crewe Alex.'s away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The games have constituted a decent return of 8 goals for the The Railwaymen, and 11 goals against.

Carlisle Utd.'s total of 3 points from their 1 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League One. Crewe Alex. find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 0 points from their 1 matches.
