In the fierce League One face-off on 13th February 2024 between Burton Albion and Carlisle United, Burton Albion displayed a commanding performance to edge out a formidable Carlisle United with a scoreline of 3-2.

Burton Albion was evidently the superior squad, racking up seven shots on target compared to Carlisle’s five. This keen eye for the goal culminated in three goals for Burton, aided by the solid two assists from their teammates. Carlisle United struggled to keep up, managing two goals off five shots on target, with one assisted goal indicating a lesser degree of team synchronization.

There was a marked difference in the teams' defensive strategies, reflected in the number of saves by the goalkeepers - Burton Albion’s keeper made three saves, one fewer than Carlisle United’s four, indicating a higher pressure from Burton on Carlisle's defence. The higher number of saves by Carlisle's goalkeeper was just not enough to suppress Burton’s striking prowess.

The intense match was also marked by slight sloppy plays, shown in the number of shots off target – seven by Carlisle United and five by Burton Albion. Carlisle United had more attempts coming from the corner, with three corner kicks compared to Burbton's four. The corner attempts by both teams however, failed to threaten the opposition considerably.

The aggressive play of the night is reflected in the foul count of the match, with Carlisle United committing a total of ten fouls against Burton Albion's eight. This shows a balance of aggression and defence from both teams on the pitch. Despite this, it was a relatively disciplined game, with neither team awarded a yellow or red card.

In terms of tactical plays, Burton made three substitutions compared to Carlisle United's two, hinting at a more strategic approach to their game plan.

The number of offsides, one more from Carlisle United (3), than Burton Albion (2), suggest an eagerness in Carlisle's attackers to swiftly breach Burton Albion's defence which might have rushed a few of their output decisions.

In conclusion, Burton Albion's performance showcased a more precise attack and a strategic game plan which gave them an edge over the respectable resistance put up by Carlisle United. Football bettors should consider these vital statistics when placing their bets on these teams in future matches.
