For our Carlisle vs. Stevenage prediction, we're going for a 2-1 win for the home side.
We have a huge game in the League Two promotion race this weekend as Carlisle United face Stevenage on Saturday.
Carlisle United currently sit 3rd in League Two with eighteen wins, ten draws and seven losses from thirty-five games this season.
Carlisle have had a fine campaign in league Two this season as they find themselves in a strong position to secure automatic promotion to League One, a feat few few predicted coming into this season.
They enter this game in fine form, too, having won each of their last five consecutive matches, the most recent of which was a 2-1 win away at Swindon Town.
After losing 0-4 to Mansfield Town on Valentine's Day many would have expected Carlisle's promotion push to derail, but they responded admirably by embracing upon a four-game winning run which many would agree displays the kind of resolve one would expect from a promotion contender.
Their home form is solid on the whole having won three of their last five games on home soil while winning their last two on the bounce.
Carlisle are one point above Northampton Town in 4th with a game in hand so things are looking tight at the top. A win here would do wonders for their promotion charge but it won't come easily.
Stevenage currently sit 2nd in League Two with nineteen wins, nine draws and seven losses from thirty-five games this season.
Stevenage have been excellent this season under Steve Evans and at this point most expect them to see through their promotion push and secure a top three finish.
They enter this game in solid form having won three and lost one of their last four matches, the most recent of which was a 1-0 win over Crewe Alexandra.
Their form away from home is slightly worrying, though, having won just one of their last five games on the road.
Stevenage beat Carlisle 2-1 when the two sides met back in August, but considering Carlisle's improvements since then this will likely be a much tougher matchup.
