The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in March 2008, with Carlisle Utd. running out comfortable 2 - 0 winners in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides
Carlisle United need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Cumbrians have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Northampton's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Cobblers have hit 4 goals, 7 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Carlisle Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 42 points from 39 matches. Northampton are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 41 points from 37 matches.
