Carlisle vs MK Dons Predictions

• MK Dons have lost four of their last six contests
• Carlisle have accrued nine of their 30 league points in their last seven matches
• Six of Carlisle’s seven league wins this term have been by single-goal margins

Carlisle not going down without a fight

Carlisle are staring down the barrel at relegation from the EFL this season but recent performances have suggested they will not go down without a fight.

Since replacing Mike Williamson with Mark Hughes as manager back in February, Carlisle have looked improved, taking nine points from their last seven assignments.

That is not a bad return given they have collected 30 points all season and they posted a confidence-boosting 2-1 win at home to Bromley on Saturday.

They still have plenty of work to do in the League Two relegation fight but this is their game in hand over the like of Morecambe and Tranmere and they will want to make it count.

MK Dons on the slide and could be vulnerable

Fortunately for them, visitors MK Dons have underwhelmed this season and they have blown more cold than hot recently.

Indeed, MK Dons have lost four of their last six assignments, losing their last three away games 2-0 versus Bradford, 2-0 versus Accrington and 3-0 versus Port Vale.

Their confidence is on the floor right now and Carlisle can capitalise, so back them in the draw-no-bet market,

Only one of Carlisle’s league victories this term has been by more than a single goal and this could be tight, so back them to win 1-0.
