Carlisle prepare to entertain Macclesfield Town at Brunton Park Stadium on Saturday evening, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having managed to conjure up a win from 3 of the previous 4 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Brunton Park Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2003, the Cumbrians carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides
Carlisle United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Cumbrians have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
The away form of Macclesfield is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the Silkmen have hit 5 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Carlisle find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 13 games have yielded only 5 points. Macclesfield are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 12 points from 13 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Carlisle at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Cumbrians will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
