Athlone Town form and stats

With 1 win, 1 draw and 5 defeats from their home games, Athlone Town, who have the fewest points (4) at home in First Division, are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Athlone Town fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Wexford Youths game long ago, can be stopped today.

Athlone Town lost their last game at Longford Town after a 1-3 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Athlone Town lost 0-5 at home to Bray Wanderers.

The Athlone Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. As for conceded goals, Athlone Town's unpleasant statistic is 8 goals surrendered.
