English football - these are games that are simply a must-watch, as they deliver emotional impressions and vivid memories, and arouse curiosity even in those who are not football fans. On March 12th in League 1, the third strongest division in England, at Branton Stadium, Carlisle will play against Barnsley.
The team spent 10 years in League 2, and last season they finished 5th, having won in the promotion playoffs. Carlisle's game this season hasn't been the best. They're now in 24th place with 23 points. In the 32nd match, the team suffered a defeat from Cambridge United with a score of (0:4).
In the next game, Carlisle lost to Bristol Rovers (1:2). However, they finally managed to break the series of 8 losses, gaining an away win against Burton Albion with a minimal score. But after that, they lost again, now on their home field to Reading, with a score of (1:3). In the last match, the lads lost to Charlton (2:3).
Last year, the Tykes were very close to returning to the Championship. They finished the season in 4th place and made it to the playoffs. There they overcame Bolton, but in the final match against Sheffield Wednesday, they conceded in overtime and lost by a minimal score.
In the 32nd round, they managed to gain an away victory over Fleetwood Town with a score of (2:1). After that, the lads beat Derby County (2:1). Then they defeated Wycombe Wanderers away with a score of (4:2). In the next game, Barnsley drew with Bolton (2:2). But in the last match, they suffered a crushing defeat from Lincoln City with a score of (1:5).
The last face-to-face duel between Carlisle and Barnsley was on January 16th, 2023. That meeting ended in a Tykes' victory (2:1).
Carlisle is so awful that any team can easily beat them. Barnsley, on the other hand, is considered one of the season favourites, so I'm going to confidently bet on the visitor's win.
I think in this confrontation the teams will be able to show effective football, so I'd suggest a TO 2.5 bet.
