Carlisle to get the three points

Carlisle are looking good to do the double over Doncaster after a comfortable 3-0 win over the supplement early in the campaign. Doncaster might have picked up two wins in the last five league outings, but they have struggled to get the same even against mediocre opponents.

There have been over 2.5 goals in three out of the recent five league outings for Doncaster while all of the last five away games for Carlisle have hit over 2.5 goals. Even without any contribution from Doncaster, the previous game between these two outfits produced over 2.5 goals.

Both teams to score – yes

Even though Carlisle are fighting to get into the automatic promotion spot, they have not been defensively solid enough throughout the campaign. It is reflected by a defensive record that has seen them concede 23 goals – in as many games – so far this season. Doncaster are likely to receive decent opportunities to score in this match.
