Stevenage and Carlisle last met at League One level in March 2014, when the two sides drew 0-0 en route to both being relegated.

Carlisle have alternated between defeat (3) and victory (2) in their last five league trips to Stevenage, losing this exact fixture in League Two last season 2-1.

Since the start of last season, only Leyton Orient (17) have kept more home clean sheets in England's top four tiers than Stevenage (15). Indeed, the Boro have kept a clean sheet in their last four at the Lamex Stadium – they've never gone five without conceding at home in the Football League.

Carlisle have failed to score in six of their last eight away league games, netting just once in each of the other two. Both of their away games so far this season have been 1-0 defeats.
