Peterborough vs Carlisle tips and predictions

Peterborough have all the advantages versus Carlisle

It's fourth placed Peterborough versus 24th placed Carlisle in this League One clash as the hosts look to add distance to the 47 points between the sides.

It won't be long after the 3:00pm kick-off before the home favourites are looking at the away team in the rear-view mirror. This surely won't be a snore-fest. There's not a huge amount of confidence in the match winner market though.

You can get a big price on Carlisle but there's no value in it. This home side will not be dwelling on any notion of failure.

Peterborough supporters can take something from the recent results of both teams. The hosts have registered 6 wins from 7 matches. Enjoying less success as expected, the travelling side has failed to deliver at times. They've lost 12 of their last 14 matches. They're likely to taste defeat again here.

The home side is certainly in some form on their own patch. The Posh have scored two or more goals in 17 of their recent 20 home matches.

Lately Carlisle have lacked a platform near the 18-yard line. They have conceded two or more goals in 11 of their last 14 matches. Ultimately this might be the difference between the sides.

Despite the undeniable favouritism for Peterborough it will be entertaining if Carlisle can make inroads into the match. It doesn't offer massive value but the Yes BTTS bet is a tentative side bet for this particular game.
