Carlisle United will be hoping to bounce back here after the 5-0 National League loss in their previous game against York City.

Malachi Fagan-Walcott (4'), Ollie Pearce (39', 44'), Alex Newby (49') and Josh Stones (86') scored for York City.

Carlisle United haven’t had any problems with scoring, finding the back of the net every time they’ve gone out to play in their last 6 matches.

They have totted up the amount of 14 during that time while also conceding a total of 3. That sort of pattern might not be sustained into this match, though.

Pre-game facts show that Carlisle United:

  • are unbeaten in the league by Rochdale in their previous 2 games.
  • are unbeaten in their last 10 home league matches. They have been so resilient here.

LWWWWW 🔥

Rochdale will come into the encounter after a 4-1 National League win versus Solihull Moors in their previous fixture.

For Rochdale, the goalscorers were Ryan East (8', 17'), Devante Rodney (20') and Sam Beckwith (50'). Callum McFarlane (58') scored for Solihull Moors.

In their last 6 outings, Rochdale have amassed a total of 12 goals. Rochdale have also not failed to score on each one of those occasions. During that period, they’ve had 3 goals go against them.

A look at their previous results shows us that Rochdale:

  • have left without a victory over Carlisle United when having played them away from home in the previous 6 matches in the league. Not good at all.
  • are undefeated in their previous 2 league matches away from home.

We’re inclined to think that Rochdale have enough to score a goal against this Carlisle United side, however that possibly won’t be enough to avoid a loss.

We’re expecting a very close game with a 2-1 victory for Carlisle United at the end of this one. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
