Carlisle prepare to entertain Swansea City at Brunton Park Stadium on Saturday evening, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having chalked up an impressive 6 wins out of 9 previous matches.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Brunton Park Stadium was less than a year ago, in October 2002, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides
Carlisle United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Cumbrians have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Swansea's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Swans have hit 9 goals, 15 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Carlisle find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 9 games have yielded only 5 points. Swansea are leading the way in the Nationwide League Division Three, with their 9 games giving them a return of 19 points.

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 Swans come away with an easy victory. Away win
