Football : England: National League

Saturday 31st January 2026, 1500hrs (GMT)
Carlisle United will be eager to halt a three-match sequence without a win overall on Saturday afternoon when they play host to bottom half outfit Altrincham at Brunton Park having suffered losses to Chatham (FA Trophy) and York City (National League) either side of a 3-3 draw away from home at Solihull Moors.
The Cumbrians had previously put together an impressive three-match winning streak in the National League under manager Mark Hughes with victories gained at the expense of Gateshead, Morecambe and Wealdstone respectively, all of whom sit from middle to the lower half of the National League table.
Carlisle United also possess an encouraging looking record at Brunton Park with stats of 9-3-3 30/17 and the hosts are the third-highest goalscorers at home in the division.
Altrincham currently occupy 17th place in the National League table and the visitors will make their way up to Carlisle for Saturday’s clash with renewed hope and optimism following last weekend’s 3-1 home win against Boreham Wood.
The visitors had previously had to endure a disappointing seven-game winless run in all competitions which included being dealt no fewer than six defeats in the process, so confidence amongst the Altrincham camp is expected to be fragile at best.
Four of Altrincham’s recent six losses were inflicted upon Neil Gibson’s side on their travels where the visitors possess a poor looking record away from home of 2-3-9 11/20 which doesn’t fill one with much confidence ahead of this upcoming encounter against high-flying Carlisle United.
The Betting Verdict
The previous meeting resulted in a 2-1 win away from home for Carlisle United at Moss Lane.
The Pick :
Carlisle Utd 2-0 Altrincham
