Our prediction is: Under 2.5 goals in the match

If you're expecting Braintree Town vs Carlisle United to be a goal fest, think again.

We predict the total to remain under 2.5 goals in this match as neither side figures to have enough attacking firepower to give the opposition's defence much trouble.

Our prediction is: Carlisle United to win the 1st half

Carlisle United is a tough opponent to face, particularly away from home. They have enough dangerous attacking weapons to deal some damage up front, while the defence is quite solid as well.

It would not be a shock if they come in and give their hosts Braintree Town a bit of a scare in the early going.

That is why we recommend taking Carlisle United to win the first half.
