Crewe Alexandra, Recent FormThe Crewe Alexandra players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Stockport County recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 4 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Lee Bell will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
When home matches come round at Mornflake Stadium, Courtney Baker-Richardson will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 5 goals in Crewe Alexandra's last 6 home league matches.
Carlisle United, Recent FormCarlisle United will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Bradford City.
Manager Paul Simpson will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 10 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Carlisle will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Kristian Dennis is the man of the moment at Carlisle United right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
Nothing to write home about from their previous encounter, with no goals and both teams having to settle for a share of the points.
With at least 1 goal in each of their last 5 away matches against Crewe in the league, The Cumbrians have built a decent scoring record that they will be keen to extend. When Carlisle visit The Railwaymen in the league, goals tend to happen, with 7 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2.33 goals per match.
In the league, Crewe has a good track record when they host Carlisle, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
With no real injury worries, Crewe manager Lee Bell will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Carlisle manager Paul Simpson has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
