Northampton Town Team News
Same as last year, Northampton is again one of the favourites for promotion in League Two. Last season they finished in 4th place and later suffered a defeat in the playoff semifinal. This season Northampton is once again at the top of the table.
Right now, they are 3rd in the table with 39 points and 11 wins after 20 rounds. The leader Leyton Orient is 12 points above and the second place Stevenage is five points far.
Northampton is in a good run of results and they are seven games without a defeat, since the start of October. But in the last seven games, they have had too many draws. They have won only three games and drew four.
An interesting fact is that Northampton has more points away from home than at their stadium, 21 in contrast to 18. They suffered only one defeat away from home in contrast to three at home.
Northampton has the second-best attack in League Two with 34 goals scored. They conceded 20 goals and kept five clean sheets. Interesting, only two at home.
Midfielder Sam Hoskins has an incredible season with 13 goals and two assists. He contributed to 45% of all Northampton goals.
Carlisle United Team News
Carlisle is one of the pleasant surprises in League Two this season. They are in League Two since 2014 and last season they finished in 20th place. Now, Carlisle is 7th in the league with 33 points and eight wins after 20 games.
It all started in February when they appointed Paul Simpson as a new manager. He turned things around and Carlisle finished last season in a strong fashion and continues to produce strong performances this season.
This has been a great season for Carlisle, so far. They are five games without a defeat and they suffered only two defeats in the league since 20th August. Carlisle is also a very good away from the home side with 16 points won in 10 games.
Carlisle has the third-best attack in the league with 31 goals scored and they failed to score in only four games this season. Problem is that they have kept only two clean sheets away from home.
H2H
Since 2014 they played nine times against each other and Northampton has five wins and Carlisle has won on three occasions. Only one game was finished with a draw. Seven games were finished with over 2.5 goals and five with BTTS.

Carlisle United: Omari Patrick and Fin Back are injured.
Northampton Town vs. Carlisle United Prediction
This game was scheduled for Saturday last week but was postponed because of the bad weather and low temperatures.
Both teams are on a good run and play good football this season. Northampton is at the top of the table as expected and Carlisle is one little surprise this season. Both teams have great attacks and know how to score goals and their H2H suggest that we can expect them.
We are hoping for at least one at both ends.
