The forward players for Athlone have suffered from a lack of goals in their past 6 clashes, contributing the unsatisfactory return of only 4. In those matches, The Town have also seen the collective goal aggregate against them equal 6. Still, it remains to be seen whether such a trend might persist in this upcoming game.
