Carlisle United’s been erratic, their showings fluctuating from classy to questionable. Meanwhile, Forest Green Rovers’s fighting through a rough patch, their backline looking unstable.

Personal take: Each sides’ve got problems. Carlisle United’s center park’s off-rhythm, while Forest Green Rovers’s attack lacks a killer instinct.
When it comes to the National League, this game carries greater importance.
