Carlisle to Win
Carlisle needs to win this game, and for this Carlisle vs Tranmere prediction, the odds are stacked in favor of the home team. Carlisle is without a win for the past four games, but somehow they are still in the hunt for a top-three position. Their struggles in front of the opposing goal are notable and can't be overstated, but Tranmere will be a perfect opportunity for the hosts to recapture their form. The positive aspect is that their opponent doesn't have much to play for in the remaining games.
Both Teams to Score – No
Carlisle played four straight matches without both teams scoring a goal, and in this Carlisle vs Tranmere duel, this is a result that might be in the offing once again. Tranmere, on the other hand, played four out of their last five matches with BTTS being covered, but they are far from a team that is effective in front of the opposing goal. When we look at these teams' h2h record, two out of their last five encounters ended without both teams getting on the scoresheet, and the first match of the current season ended with a 2-0 Carlisle win.

Team Information, Preview, and Carlisle vs Tranmere Lineups
Carlisle
With two straight losses, Carlisle finds themselves in a bit of trouble when it comes to their fight for a top-three spot. They are still very much in play, but that feeling won't last for too long if they don't start delivering goals. The biggest problem for the team right now is that they just can't score goals. They went without one in four straight games. A team that lost to Leyton Orient last week should get the start once again.
Possible lineup: Holy, Back, Huntington, Feeney, Mellish, Armer, McCalmont, Guy, Moxon, Dennis, Patrick.
Tranmere
The visiting team failed to win in their last five matches, but Tranmere is in a safe spot far away from the relegation zone, but also not close enough to teams that are in the top seven battle. So, going forward, the guest side will be looking to end their season on a positive note, possibly hurting their next opponent's chances of progressing to League One.
Possible lineup: Possible lineup: Hewelt, Bristow, Turnbull, Davies, Gogley, Hughes, Merrie, Hendry, Hawkes, Saunders, Mumbongo.
Starting Lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
Player to Watch: Owen Moxon
From his role in the central midfield, Owen Moxon has created plenty of opportunities for his teammates to score goals, so it is no wonder that he leads Carlisle in the assists category with 13. From that standpoint, he is also the second-best creator of goals in League Two. To make Moxon's season even better are five goals that he scored.
