Athlone
DDLLLL 📉
Athlone will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 1-0 First Division loss in their previous game against Kerry.
An interesting aspect of recent Athlone games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.
Taking their prior 6 clashes before this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on BTTS would've been a losing one. That being said, we’ll just have to find out whether that pattern will persist in this upcoming match or not.
Wexford
LLLWLL
Following on from tasting defeat last time out to Cork City in First Division action, Wexford and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
The only player to score from Wexford was Max Murphy (86' Own goal). Ruairi Keating (86') scored for Cork City.
Looking at their form, and Wexford have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 12 goals in all. At the back, Wexford just haven’t been too solid at all.
Analysis of their past results shows that Wexford:
- remain unbeaten by Athlone in away games against them for the last 4 matches in the league. A very good record, indeed.
- have not won away from home in their last 8 matches in the league. Their travelling support will be needed here, for sure.
👥

Prediction
In our view, Wexford and Athlone should both be able to find the back of the net here although it’s difficult to select a clear winner.
A draw is a real possibility, as we are expecting there to be little between them. We’re therefore expecting a hard-fought 1-1 score draw at the conclusion of the game.
