On 23 March in League 1, England's third-tier division, at "Branton" stadium, "Carlisle United" will play against "Stevenage". Let's have a look at the state of the teams and try to make a decision that will boost our pot.
The team have been in League 2 for 10 years, and last season they finished 5th, winning the promotion play-offs. The season hasn't been going too well for "Carlisle". They are currently in 24th place with 23 points. In the 34th match, they finally managed to break a run of eight losses by clinching an away victory over "Burton Albion" with a minimal margin.
But then they lost again, this time at home to "Reading" with a score (1:3). In the next match, the lads conceded to "Charlton" (2:3). Then the team suffered a loss to "Barnsley" with a score of (2:3). In their last game, they lost their 4th game in a row to "Shrewsbury" (0:1).
After a decade, the team finally achieved promotion to League 2. The lads finished in 2nd place, accumulating 85 points. In the current season, the squad continues to delight their fans in the third division. After 37 matches, "Stevenage" lies 8th with 59 points.
In the 34th round, the squad defeated "Cambridge" (1:0). Then they had a goalless draw with "Lincoln". In the next game, they drew with "Fleetwood" (0:0). After that, they suffered a defeat to "Peterborough" with a score of (1:3). In the latest game, they lost with a minimal margin at home ground to "Leyton Orient".
The last head-to-head of "Carlisle" and "Stevenage" took place on 9 September 2023. That encounter ended in a draw with a score (2:2).
"Carlisle" are currently deemed to be the worst team of the season, losing 12 of their last 13 games. "Stevenage", too, have started to surrender their positions but are still significantly stronger than their adversary. Considering this, I suggest a stake on the visitors' win.
I'm expecting a goals-driven match from both clubs in this encounter, which is why I would place a bet on the total goals being over 2.
