Kerry
LLLWLL
Kerry will be hoping to bounce back here following a 3-0 First Division defeat last time out to Treaty United.
Kerry have been quite ineffective in attack in recent times. Their ‘goals for’ figure stands at just 4 versus opposition teams over the course of their previous six matches. In those meetings, Kerry have also seen the tally of goals against them total 10.
Looking at the pre-match facts, Kerry:
- have not been beaten in the league by Athlone in their last 2 matches.
- are without a home win in the past 3 matches in the league.
Athlone
DWWLLL 📉
After tasting defeat last time out to Bray Wanderers in First Division action, Athlone and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.
The numbers tell their own story, and Athlone have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 6 goals in total. In defence, Athlone could really do with shoring things up. Previous results aside, we’ll just have to find out if that pattern might be sustained in this next match.

🔮
Prediction
We’re of the opinion that Athlone and Kerry may well find themselves both scoring in what promises to be a very even battle here.
Let’s see what happens, but it could well be that we end up with scores level. We’re therefore tipping a very close game with a 1-1 draw when all is said and done.
