Carlisle Utd vs Stevenage Betting Tips: Stevenage to Win

Based on their poor performance so far, Carlisle is evidently on a direct path back to England’s fourth division. Their chances of miraculously avoiding the relegation zone seem bleak, especially after gaining a meager 23 points from 38 league games.

The Cumbrians, who are rooted at the bottom of the League One table with a massive 16-point distance from safety and only eight games left, are already contemplating their departure. They are fully aware that their chances of survival are slim, a fact reinforced by their poor run of results.

Despite facing teams primarily battling to avoid relegation, Paul Simpson’s unlucky team was unable to take advantage of the promising series of games. They only managed to secure a paltry three points out of a potential 15 in their last five matches in the third-tier league.

The Blues from Cumbria, since their surprising 1-0 victory at Burton on February 27 where they claimed maximum points, have suffered defeats in their next four League One matches. Their most recent loss was a 0-1 setback against 17th-placed Shrewsbury.

Up next for the basement boys is a match against Stevenage, a team attempting to maneuver through difficult circumstances as they urgently hunt for points to assert their bid for a top-six finish. They are now in eighth place, just one point behind the desired spot.

Indeed, Boro’s unpleasant winless streak has now stretched to four third-division games. This comes after playoff contenders Leyton Orient handed them a quiet yet painful 0-1 defeat. The team’s failure to score in the final third is largely responsible for their fall out of the top six, managing to score just once in March.

Stevenage, with equal proficiency playing at home and away, are presented with an optimal opportunity this Saturday to recover from recent setbacks and rejuvenate their playoff ambitions. The setting for this potential revival is Bunton Park, a field that has seen Carlisle suffer six consecutive losses, letting in a staggering 18 goals along the way.

With the Cumbrians falling apart at the seams, we believe the playoff chasers have enough firepower to deal a seventh straight home blow to their Saturday’s hosts.
