The only name on the scoresheet from Athlone was Gideon Tetteh (73').
The forward players for Athlone have suffered from a lack of goals in their past 6 clashes, contributing the unsatisfactory return of only 4. In those matches, The Town have also seen the collective goal aggregate against them equal 6. Still, it remains to be seen whether such a trend might persist in this upcoming game.
Going into this one, Athlone haven't beaten Bray Wanderers when having played them away from home in the previous 6 matches in the league. They really have not been travelling well at all.
