Kerry
DDDDWD 📈
Kerry go into this match following a 0-0 First Division drawn result against Treaty United.
Their latest results really do illustrate the point that not much more can be done by the Kerry backline. Kerry have been stingy, resulting in the number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their previous 6 clashes standing at 3. We will find out whether or not that trend can be sustained here.
A look at their previous results shows us that Kerry:
- have not won against Athlone in their previous 3 league matches.
- are undefeated in their previous 3 league matches at home.
