In our view, Bray Wanderers are dangerous enough to get a goal against this Athlone outfit, although that possibly won’t be as many as they will have scored against them.
We’re expecting a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning score for Athlone at the end of this one. Hopefully this is a good one.
