Ipswich Town and AFC Wimbledon face off on Tuesday evening in a match between two teams needing a boost with kickoff at 10:45 pm.
The hosts extended their winless streak to seven games on the weekend, while the visitors came back to win for the third time in four games.
On Saturday afternoon, the hosts finally got back on the scoresheet in front of the goal, but it wasn’t enough to end their winless streak as well.
Having headed to Burton Albion with just one goal in five games in all competitions, Ollie Palmer netted in the 20th minute to provide Mark Robinson’s side with arguably a deserved lead.
However, they were beaten seven minutes later when Daniel Jebbison scrambled home. Carlisle pushed for an opening goal in the final stages but had to settle for a share of the points.
Robinson will be hopeful that his side can take the confidence built up from that game and apply it directly to Tuesday’s encounter against an in-form opponent 10 places above them in the table.
Meanwhile, Ipswich Town travels to play at Wimbledon on Tuesday evening. They beat Accrington Stanley 2-1 in their last game and climbed to ninth place in the League One table. Ipswich is only two places behind 6th place, and they hope to cut that gap further after this game.
