Athlone
LLLDDL 📉
Athlone will be hoping to bounce back here following a 1-0 First Division loss in their previous game against Bray Wanderers.
Dan Ring (27') was the scorer for Bray Wanderers.
Athlone have struggled with their forward play in more recent games. Their sum of goals stands at just 3 against opponents over the course of their last 6 outings. In those meetings, Athlone have also seen the tally of goals against them total 9. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this next game, of course.

Prediction
We’re of the opinion that Cobh Ramblers and Athlone are probably both going to find scoring goals difficult here.
A scoreless draw looks like a real possibility, but we’ll see what happens. That is why we are leaning toward a very competitive game with a 0-0 scoreline when all is said and done.
