Carlisle is in big trouble right now. The team plays in the Second League and is close to the relegation zone. In the first round the hosts unexpectedly lost at home to Nottingham Forest Under 21. After that, the chances of getting out of the group became much less, and if there is a defeat in the second round, there will be no way to reach the 1/16 finals.
Wigan in the League One of England goes in the middle of the table, but recently found stability. The team does not lose for six games in a row. However, in the first round, the club also unexpectedly lost their match at home, although against Morkham they were the obvious favorite. Therefore, if the guests want to make the playoffs, they can’t lose any more points.
