Newport County hopes to continue their rise to the top of League Two this week when they take on Carlisle at home at Brunton Park with a kickoff at 10:45 pm.
Carlisle United have surprised their fans with positive displays since the beginning of this month. They are bettering themselves from their cold streak at the start of the season, and now they have gained the competitive spirit needed to aim for promotion this season.
In addition, Carlisle United recorded a 2-1 win over Northampton Town in their most recent league fixture at Brunton Park. They are riding a four-game winning streak in League Two with that win.
The Newport County squad have been performing well for the region in their league games. With so many positives and goals to their name, the team is currently third on the table with 59 points in hand. The squad has a strong attacking lineup and decent defensive foundation.
Moreover, Newport was last seen on a League Two game day away from home against Stevenage. The match ended up in a 0-2 win for the visitors, and they carried the momentum of three consecutive clean sheets.
On Tuesday, Carlisle United and Newport will meet at Brunton Park in the 37th Round of League Two fixtures. Both teams will be looking for three points, so the match will likely be exciting.
