Carlisle United must overturn the odds if they are to record back-to-back league wins for the first time since March 2023 tonight.

The Blues head to promotion-chasing Notts County aiming to build on Saturday's much-needed victory at Fleetwood Town.

The sixth-placed Magpies are odds-on for the points tonight with a price of 3/5 offered by BetVictor, and 8/13 by SkyBet.

Carlisle are 4/1 (Betfair) to prevail at Meadow Lane, and 18/5 for the win with Ladbrokes.

The draw is 16/5.

Cedwyn Scott returns to his former club tonight with the Blues, and the former Notts striker is 10/1 to get the opening goal, and 7/2 to find the net at any stage in the game.

Joe Hugill is also 10/1 to open his United account with the night's first goal.

Will Patching also faces his former club and the midfielder is 25/1 to strike first for the Cumbrians.

Other first-scorer odds in the Blues ranks include Kadeem Harris at 16/1, Jordan Jones at 22/1 and Saturday's matchwinner Sam Lavelle at 40/1.

Notts' 15-goal dangerman Alassana Jatta, who hit their opener at Brunton Park in October's 2-0 win, is 9/2 joint favourite to score first tonight.

Experienced forward David McGoldrick has similar odds while Jodi Jones is 15/2.

County's former United defender Rod McDonald is 40/1 to open the scoring against the Cumbrians, while ex-Barrow defender Matty Platt is 28/1.

Carlisle's last trip to Meadow Lane was a 1-1 draw in November 2018 and a similar outcome tonight is priced 15/2.

The Cumbrians' last win at the ground was a 3-2 victory on New Year's Eve 2016 - the same result this time is 40/1.

A second straight 2-1 away win for Mike Williamson's side is 14/1, while a 2-0 victory for Stuart Maynard's sixth-placed hosts is 8/1.
