Athlone vs Galway tips and predictions

Athlone price cannot be ignored for this clash

A result might be within Athlone's capabilities here.

The hosts go into the match having got 8 wins from their last 14 games.

Athlone will need to maintain their composure and be prepared for periods with very little possession if they're to get this done. The hosts are making the most of a recent run of form and they've looked energised. They scored two or more goals in 9 of their recent 12 matches and their defensive line also deserves some props. They've only conceded an average of 1.0 goals over their last 3 games.

On occasions Galway haven't had foundations under pressure. They have conceded two or more goals in 8 of their last 19 matches. With this match-up they won't be expecting to add to those stats though. After all, they are the favourites for a reason.

You'll be aware of how this match has gone in the past. Athlone have won 3 of the last 7 fixtures between the two teams.

Pulling off the win might be too much but they can grab something here. Galway are the favoured side but things will get exciting if Athlone can make them sweat. It doesn't offer massive value but the Yes BTTS bet is an unconfident side bet for this particular game.
