① Form favors hosts.

② Home team sits higher in the table.

③ Their recent results give them the psychological edge.

① Carlisle travel with quality and a scoring threat.

② Eastleigh will push high but may concede late.

③ The visitors carry the edge and should secure three points.

① Carlisle United carry stronger form and are capable of an away win.

② Hartlepool United will push hard at home but may concede key moments.

③ Expect goals from both teams and a result likely decided late.
