Bitesize Prediction: Boston United vs Carlisle – 22/11/25

Competition: National League

Market: Goal to be scored in both halves

Odds: 7/10 @ 1xBet

Knowing that they could skyrocket their way to the top of the National League table on Saturday evening, Carlisle will travel to Lincolnshire when they meet Boston.

Starting with the hosts, while Boston might have eventually clung to their National League status last season, fans around Cumbria are concerned that their side could find themselves at the heart of another relegation scrap this time around. Despite being last seen earlier in the week snatching a 1-1 stalemate against Woking, that is the only point that Graham Goughlan’s men have collected from any of their previous three appearances. Putting in a nightmare performance earlier in the month as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against Rochdale on home soil, the Pilgrims have also recorded just a sole win from any of their previous eight appearances across all competitions. Likewise, watching their FA Cup qualifying adventure come to a thumping end on October 11th as they slumped to a 5-2 loss away at Carlisle, Boston should be bracing themselves for another stern challenge here. With their recent rut underlined by a 4-0 drumming against Morecambe last month, Saturday’s hosts have unsurprisingly gained a reputation for their defensive struggles.

As for the visitors, after losing their Football League status last season, it is no secret that Carlisle have their sights firmly set on booking an immediate fourth-tier return this time around. Rightfully installed as a standout promotion contender this year, Mark Hughes’ men know that they could end Saturday’s fixtures sat at the top of the National League table. Collecting a famous FA Cup scalp earlier in the month as they edged past League One outfit Reading, the one-time Manchester City boss should find the mood in his camp at a red-hot high. Last seen outside of Cumbria landing an eye-catching 2-1 victory against play-off dreamers Southend, Carlisle will be confident of making another statement here. Along with registering seven points from their previous three National League appearances, Saturday’s guests are also unbeaten in all of their last nine straight outings across all competitions – a purple patch that stems back to September 27th. Likewise, landing that 5-2 FA Cup win when they met Boston on October 11th, Hughes’ camp are rightfully installed as a standout contender this weekend.
