Recent respective form guides
Carlisle United need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Cumbrians have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Oldham Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the Latics have hit 9 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Carlisle Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 44 points from 41 matches. Oldham Ath.'s 59 points from 41 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position.
