Carlisle v Leeds

Carlisle lead 2-1 from the first leg where they gained a thoroughly deserved victory, in goal Keiron Westwood performed excellently and on the counter, Carlisle opened Leeds up regularly. The Yorkshire side were running out of ideas until a last gasp goal by Freedman gave them hope. This has set the tie up nicely and should ensure an entertaining encounter at Brunton Park. Carlisle have a phenomenal record at home, the best in the league W17 D3 L3 although Leeds have also won plenty on the road. The bookies make Leeds marginal favourites on the Asian Handicaps and this looks wrong as they will have to attack again and will therefore leave themselves open once more to Carlisle's counters. Also important forward Jermaine Beckford is carrying an ankle injury which forced him to come off early in the first leg. His replacement Kandol is not in the same class although it's seems likely that Beckford will start this match anyway. With home teams continuing to struggle in the play offs, the most interesting bet looks to be over 2.5 goals @2.1+. The matches between these sides have been open affairs 3-1, 3-2, 1-2 this season and with Leeds having to score it should be another cracking match.

[WHUPUNTER]

Have gone for Carlisle tonight. I know Leeds will be up for it after their late late late goal in the 1st leg and only need one to take it to ET. But Carlisle did win at Elland Road and have one of the strongest home records in the league (if not the strongest actually). Think they have a decent side and can finish Leeds off tonight as I be;ieve theyre up for the fight and have ability to score a goal or two. 2/1 is huge.

i have gone for Carlisle to win out right

only small money from what i won from last night



WHU same bet again

[Sir Fernando]

Will be on Leeds tonight, that late goal could be vital, Leeds know 0-1 will keep them in the tie, The nerves from the home leg well behind them now, Leeds have been decent on the road this season, Carlisle could be a bit edgy tonight especially if Leeds strike early. Dont believe the Carlisle keeper can play aswell as he did in the 1st leg either.

pick AWAY win @ 2.6

I've gone for HT - Draw/FT - Carlisle @ 5

I think the first half will be cagey with neither team wanting to give anything away. The second half will be when Leeds try to make the goal so that they can get through. I think Carlisle's midfield can hold strong and home advantage will give them a chance for the win.

Big stakes on no sending off at 1.28 for me, thats surely too high odds for any game.

[micky32]

2/1 is massive for the HOME win given Carlisle's record this season...

CS 2-0 and 2-1 @ 12/1 and 11/1
Bridge-Wilkinson to score anytime @ 4/1

I would. He's played like it all season.

I'm also on Carlisle tonight. Their home form is so good and Beckford didn't look totally fit to me the other night. I've not rated Leeds from ball 1 this season so I'm sticking with Carlisle.

Doncaster Vs Southend

close fought 1st leg, expect Doncaster to be more dominant in the return leg, Doncaster pretty solid home form including beating the shrimpers 3-1 at home, Southend's away form is not as good as there home form, expect Donny to take this.

Home win.

Home win.

As it happens mate Southend had the 3rd best away form in the division (Winning 5 of their final 7 away league games) and were also the TOP SCORERS away from home. I know you wasn't technically wrong in what you said but just thought id add to it to give a clearer picture.

I could see this going either way but i've got a little 1-0 to southend or Southend in extra time vibe!
