The most recent encounter between these two sides at Brunton Park Stadium was just last season, in September 2002, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a League Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides
Carlisle United's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. Cumbrians have conceded a disappointing 9 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.
Rochdale's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Dale's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 10 goals for and 9 against.
Carlisle find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 6 games have yielded only 1 points. Rochdale are just outside the promotion places, in 5th, having taken 11 points from 6 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Cumbrians at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Dale come away with an easy victory. Away win

| Carlisle | Failed to win in previous 7 home matches. Not won in the 8 most recent games. |
