Bray Wanderers vs Athlone Town
Bray Wanderers’ inconsistent performances keep them from the top two of the Division 2. They are trying to get back there when visited by Athlone Town this weekend. Two camps competed on match day 22 which was held at Carlisle Grounds.
Currently they have dropped to rank 5 with a distance of 7 points from Cabinteely on it. The distance should be cut last weekend if they managed to win at Galway Utd headquarters. Unfortunately, the hosts managed to equalize to 2-2 through Vinny Faherty’s goal on 83 minutes.
The opportunity to appear at Carlisle opened the opportunity to make amends; so far they have only fallen 2 times there, while the rest won 7 times and 1 draw thanks to a score of 1-0 when facing Limerick mid-month.
Athlone Town is also considered as the right enemy as a lower-level participant; they landed right above the caretaker position after losing a row from Cobh Ramblers and Shelbourne with a score of 2-1 and 1-2.
Calamity at Cobh Ramblers in particular makes Athlone Town receive 7 defeats on away matches this season, while the remaining 2 wins and 1 draw. Last May they were buried by Bray Wanderers with a score of 0-5 at home due to Darren Meenan’s red card since the 17th minute. The disaster gave a lesson that they must play with the full squad when facing the rival.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
Odds: 1.53
