Cambridge – Carlisle preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Cambridge vs Carlisle lineups.
Cambridge
Cambridge has been struggling for many weeks now. They managed to win only one of their last 10 league games. That said the 0-0 home draw vs leaders Portsmouth in midweek was seen as a positive result. The U’s defended very well in this match and they were good value for the point, if not for more.
There has been complete parity between the sides in recent decades with the last 9 H2Hs producing 3 wins each and 3 draws.
Cambridge continue to be missing only defender Dunk and striker Kachunga due to injuries.
Predicted Lineup:
Stevens (GK), L. Bennett, Morrison, R. Bennett, Andrew, Digby, Cousins, Brophy, Lankester, May & Fejiri
Carlisle
Carlisle stopped a 4-game winless run on Tuesday when a scrappy 2-1 home victory was achieved vs Burton. The Cumbrians started the game well and despite being lucky on numerous occasions they managed to grab their third win of the campaign.
Carlisle will travel for this game without their best centre-back. Paul Huntingdon will miss multiple weeks after sustaining a knee injury. Starting striker Kayode is also unavailable and this is one of the reasons why Carlisle struggle for goals right now.
Carlisle have 4 others that are either doubtful or ruled out so there are not many options to refresh the lineup right now.
Predicted Lineup:
Holy (GK), Back, Lavelle, Mellish, Armer, Guy, Butterworth, Moxon, Gibson, Garner & Maguire
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: Jordan Gibson
Carlisle's attacking midfielder Jordan Gibson has been their main hope up front so far. Gibson scored 5 goals himself and assisted for 4 others. The rest of the squad combined have 4 assists between them and no other player has more than 3 league goals.
This clearly shows that Gibson is crucial for the Cumbrians so keeping an eye on him will show if Carlisle have a chance of a positive result from the coming match or not.
