Athlone vs Cobh Ramblers Prediction & Betting Tips (26 April)

Having triumphed at their one of the past 5 games of the season, Cobh Ramblers have since gone on to lose eight of their next ten matches at the top table of the Division 1. Athlone, by way of contrast, have enjoyed 13 wins in their previous 20 home games at this level, so the club from the capital will be confident of putting Division 1 bottom side to the sword.

Athlone may be renowned for playing a swashbuckling brand of attacking football, but the fact remains that 18 of their last 20 Division 1 matches have served up three goals or fewer. This has also been the case in 19 of the most recent 20 games involving Cobh Ramblers in the Division 1, so it is hard to see this pattern changing when the teams lock horns.

Athlone are currently on a run of 11 consecutive top-flight fixtures in which they have both scored and conceded during the same 90 minutes, so consistency has certainly not been lacking on this particular front. This has also been the case in five of the previous six Cobh Ramblers matches at this level, meaning that clean sheets are likely to prove hard to come by.
