Carlisle United are fancied by bookmakers to complete a league double over Gillingham and bolster their automatic promotion chances.

The third-placed Blues are favourites to prevail at Priestfield despite a wait since 1994 for an away win over the Gills.

Paul Simpson's side are 6/4 with BetFred to emulate Mick Wadsworth's men with all three points this afternoon.

They are also 13/10 with Bet365 and 11/8 with William Hill.

Neil Harris's Gillingham are seeking back-to-back victories at a ground where they've won six of their last seven home games.

The 19th-placed Kent outfit, who have improved following some heavy January recruitment, are 11/5 for victory with William Hill, 2/1 with 888Sport and 21/10 with Bet365.

The draw is 23/10.

United lead the first goalscorer betting against a side with the fewest home goals in the division.

Kristian Dennis is 11/2 with Ryan Edmondson 7/1.

For Gillingham, Tom Nichols is 15/2 - as is their former Carlisle frontman Tristan Abrahams, who is yet to score since his surprise January loan move from Eastleigh.

Other first scorer odds include Owen Moxon at 12/1, Jordan Gibson at 14/1, Morgan Feeney at 33/1 and Jon Mellish - matchwinner when the sides met at Brunton Park last August - 22/1.

For the Gills, George Lapslie is 14/1 with Oli Hawkins 9/1, with former Blues defender Max Ehmer 50/1.

A second consecutive 1-0 win over Gillingham for the Cumbrians is priced 6/1.

A third straight 0-0 draw with the Blues, meanwhile, is 15/2.

Both those outcomes would mean a 17th clean sheet of the season for United's ex-Gills keeper Tomas Holy.

The Gills to prevail 2-1 on home soil, meanwhile, is 11/1.
