Athlone Town form and stats

Let's have a look at how Athlone Town performed last season in the First Division: They landed a 7th position in the league table after playing out 9 victories, 6 draws and 12 defeats. In total they scored 32 and conceded 43 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 5 and lost 5 with 15/22 goals scored/conceded.

This match can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus Waterford United with 2-5 on the scoreboard.

A loss against Cobh Ramblers was the result prior to that, in a home game.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Athlone Town playing away, we found five games. Results were one away win, two draws and two home wins.

Head 2 Head

As for the last three games between these two teams, there's two Treaty victories, one draw and zero Athlone Town wins. Over/under statistics; one of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.
