Kerry come into this meeting following on from a 2-0 First Division win with the eclipse of Longford Town in their last fixture.

Head to head
If we look at their past head to head duels going back to 15/09/2023, there is nothing to separate the two clubs with Athlone winning 2 of those games, Kerry 2 and 2 being draws in regulation time.
A combined sum of 19 goals were yielded between them during those clashes, with 8 for The Town and 11 created by Kerry. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 3.17.
The previous league fixture between the two was First Division match day 9 on 11/04/2025 which ended up with the score at Kerry 3-0 Athlone.
💡
Prediction
We feel that Kerry and Athlone should both get enough opportunities to score, although it’s hard to separate the two.
It’s looking like it could well end up as a draw. We’re therefore expecting a very close game with a 1-1 score when all is said and done.
