Carlisle United vs Cambridge United Preview
Carlisle United have decided to launch a late play off push this season having been languishing very much in midtable for most of the term. They are unbeaten in 6, winning 4 in a row before 2 draws. The Cumbrians are 4 points off the play off places and will need a win here.
Keith Curle has changed personnel on a number of occasions this season and may decide to do so again here. The forward line is likely to stay the same, as the manager was criticised for taking a few of them off last week. Club Captain Danny Grainger may be on the bench yet again.
Cambridge United are in the bottom half of League Two and are probably too far behind to launch any kind of late play off push themselves. Sitting 14th on 50 points, they will probably be aiming for a top half finish, which would be deemed as a success in the short term.
Cambridge United may make some changes from last weeks game too. They may decide to use former Carlisle striker Jabo Ibehre against them, as the 35 year old will know all about the Carlisle defenders. That being said, Uche Ikpeazu is likely to take the main striker role.

Carlisle United vs Cambridge United Prediction
Carlisle will have been massively annoyed to have thrown 2 points away last week, as they gave up a 2-0 lead at home to Crawley Town to eventually draw 2-2. When the players got back to the dressing room it will probably have felt like a loss.
Cambridge lost 3-1 at home to play off contenders Swindon Town last week, and they haven’t won since a 1-0 success against Notts County back on 20th February.
If the hosts fail to win this game it is likely to be the end of their slim promotion homes. They lost in the play off semi final last season and will be looking to redeem themselves.
The tip is for Carlisle to edge this one, simply as they have a lot more to play for.

These two sides are becoming staples of League Two football now, with neither able to earn promotion to League One in the last couple of years. The matches between the two are usually pretty even, though Cambridge have had slightly the better of it.
Cambridge beat Carlisle 3-0 at Brunton Park last year, which was one of the low points in The Cumbrians’ season. The meeting earlier this season was a victory for Carlisle away from home, after goals from Reggie Lambe and Tom Parkes.
