Recent respective form guides

Carlisle United will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While Cumbrians have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Swindon Town's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. The Robins's have scored 9 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 11.

Carlisle Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 45 points from 43 matches. Swindon Town find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 48 points from their 43 matches.
