Prediction
- Both sides like to play on the front foot and press, so this could be a good matchup.
- Carlisle have the momentum after two consecutive wins, but Kidderminster can be dangerous on their day and we're going for the Blues to edge a hard-fought contest.
- Carlisle have won two, drawn two and lost one of their five home games in all competitions, but they have two in a row on the road over AFC Fylde and Aldershot Town, while their opponents have won just one of their last five, so the visitors will need to be at their very best to get something from this one.
- Kidderminster have two wins, one draw and a defeat from four games away from home this season and the Harriers are averaging 2.00 goals per game in that run, so the goals are certainly coming for them.
