The First Division fixture at Carlisle Grounds on Friday will see hosts Bray Wanderers welcome Athlone.
Scroll down to see all of the predictions, poll and statistics for Bray Wanderers v Athlone (plus the best game odds).
Bray Wanderers will be hoping to return to winning ways here following a 2-0 First Division losing effort in their last game against Cork City.
Ruairi Keating (6', 52') was the scorer for Cork City.
It’s been all too rare in recent games that Bray Wanderers have shown defensive steel. In fact, Bray Wanderers have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 11 goals in the process. Nonetheless, time will tell if that pattern shall be sustained here in this match.
Going into this encounter, Bray Wanderers are unbeaten in their last 11 league matches at home. It's been impressive.
In their last fixture, Athlone drew 1-1 in the First Division match with Finn Harps.
The stats don’t lie, and Athlone have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 9 goals in total. In defence, Athlone have not been doing too well.
Looking at their past form shows that Athlone:
Inspecting their past head to head meetings stretching back to 04/04/2025 shows us that Bray Wanderers have won 5 of these & Athlone 1, with the tally of drawn results being 0.
A sum of 19 goals were shared by the two clubs throughout the course of those matches, with 14 of them for The Seagulls and 5 coming from The Town. The average goals per game has been 3.17.
The last league clash featuring these sides was First Division match day 11 on 17/04/2026 when it finished Athlone 2-1 Bray Wanderers.
In our view, Athlone have it in them to break down this Bray Wanderers outfit, however that possibly won’t quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We reckon that it will be a 2-1 advantage for Bray Wanderers at the end of this one. It really should be an interesting one.
