History of the Carlisle United v Huddersfield Town fixture

Huddersfield face a trip to Carlisle United at Brunton Park Stadium on Tuesday evening, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 20 games played, Terriers have recorded 3 wins, and Carlisle Utd. have come away with 8 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2007, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League One match.
