Season ticket holders at Athlone Town Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Athlone Town languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Cobh Ramblers will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Athlone Town form and stats
Athlone Town's results here at Athlone Town Stadium in the First Division have been very modest with 0 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in twelve attempts. Athlone are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Athlone Town Stadium, having lost their two previous games here.
Athlone drew their last game, 1-1 away at Cabinteely (placed 3rd). Heartbreak before that as Athlone lost 1-3 at Bray Wanderers's place.
The manager A. Carberry will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Bray Wanderers in only one day.
