There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Cabinteely leading Athlone Town by 19 points.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Cabinteely and Athlone Town.
Cabinteely form and stats
Cabinteely have played 5 First Division games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-0-1 (wins-draws-losses). Cabinteely has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager P. Devlin and the players.
The fans are hoping that Cabinteely will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-5 away loss in the First Division game against Drogheda United (placed 4th). Prior to that, an away loss at Bray Wanderers.
As you see from the result above, Cabinteely suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
Cabinteely are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 5 games. On the other hand, Cabinteely have conceded 5 goals.
Athlone Town form and stats
0 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. That’s the product of Athlone Town, who have the most conceded goals (32) in First Division, playing as the away team in the First Division this season. Athlone are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Cabinteely fixture. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Athlone are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Athlone, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Bray Wanderers (placed 1st). The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-4 defeat against Galway United.
Athlone have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 5 league away games 6 goals have been scored. For Athlone, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was Athlone Town - Cabinteely 1-3, played this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: eight - two - zero (Cabinteely wins - draws - Athlone Town wins). As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.Top Goalscorers
