Bookmakers are leaning towards Carlisle United getting the job done against Salford City this afternoon.

The Blues are favourites to claim the win that would secure a play-off place for Paul Simpson's side.

United are 6/5 for victory with SkyBet, with odds of 5/4 offered by Bet365 and 7/5 by Betfair.

Salford, one place behind the Blues in sixth, are seeking their first win at Brunton Park in order to boost their own chances of a top-seven finish.

Neil Wood's visitors are 9/5 with SkyBet, 9/4 with Bet365 and 2/1 with Betfair.

A draw would also more than likely be enough for Carlisle to achieve a play-off place.

The game is 5/2 with Quinnbet to finish all-square.

Carlisle's top scorer Kristian Dennis had plenty of joy against the Ammies when the clubs last met, scoring twice in United's 4-1 win at the Peninsula Stadium.

He is 5/1 favourite to get the first goal today, and 15/8 to find the net at any stage.

Ryan Edmondson and Joe Garner are 13/2 to notch first for the Blues, with other first scorer odds including JK Gordon at 7/1, Owen Moxon at 12/1, Jon Mellish at 22/1 and Paul Huntington at 28/1.

Salford's Conor McAleny and Callum Hendry are both 7/1 to land the first blow in the game.

Their former United loan midfielder Elliot Watt - yet to score this season - is 40/1, while big striker Matt Smith is 9/1.

Carlisle are 15/2 to chalk up a second successive 1-0 win.

A 2-0 home triumph is 17/2, while a repeat of November's 4-1 win is 50/1.

Salford are 9/1 to claim a 1-0 win in Cumbria, and 16/1 for a 2-0 triumph.

A goalless draw is 11/1 with a 1-1 draw 11/2.
