Carlisle United vs Barnsley Match Analysis & Prediction


12/03/2024 10:45 pm


Promotion-chasing Barnsley will be looking to bounce back from a heavy defeat to Lincoln City when they travel to Brunton Park to face Carlisle United in League One on Tuesday night.
While the Tykes currently occupy fifth position in the standings, Carlisle are languishing at the bottom of the division with 16 points separating them from safety.
Carlisle are seemingly heading towards an immediate return to the fourth tier after picking up just 23 points from their 36 league matches.
Paul Simpson’s side secured the most recent of their five league victories against Burton Albion at the end of last month, but they have been unable to add to their points tally since that narrow 1-0 win.
The Cumbrians suffered a 3-1 defeat in their home encounter with Reading, beafore they were beaten 3-2 by Charlton Athletic in Saturday’s match at The Valley, a 10th loss in their last 11 games.
Following an unsuccessful trip to the capital, Carlisle will now return to Brunton Park, where they will be desperate to end a run of five successive home defeats.
Meanwhile, Barnsley will have to pick themselves up after they suffered a surprise 5-1 defeat in Saturday’s home encounter with Lincoln.
As a result of the defeat, Neill Collins’ side have dropped down a spot from fourth to fifth place, leaving them five points adrift of second-placed Derby County.
With the Tykes looking to get their promotion bid back on track, they can take confidence from the fact that they have won their last two away matches against Fleetwood Town and Wycombe Wanderers.
Barnsley have proven to be a strong team on their travels this season, having collected 36 points from their 17 away matches, with only Portsmouth and Derby having picked up more points on the road.
