The Irish First Division leader, Shelbourne, will host Athlone Town, 6th placed, at Tallaght Stadium counting for the 25th round. After a disappointing League of Ireland Premier Division campaign, Shelbourne are one step into the promotion. While their opponents in this matchup dream of a promotion playoff spot.
Shelbourne have accumulated 55 points, a result of 16 wins, 7 draws, and 1 loss. The home team have netted a total of 47 goals and suffered just 19; thus, they have the second-best attack line and the best defensive line. Currently, they are in four games winning streak, and 4 games without conceding a goal. Shelbourne scored 25 goals at Tallaght Stadium, scoring 9 in the last 5 home games.
Athlone Town have inconsistent results, winning 3 and losing the other 3 in their last 6 league matches. They have a record of 9 wins, 4 draws, and 11 losses. Additionally, the visitors have suffered 39 goals and managed to score just 29, which brings us to the lack of attack and defensive force. However, they have won their last away match by a goal to nil, and that might give them hope in this matchup. But taking into consideration their opponent in this game, they have a bigger challenge.
Shelbourne are unstoppable this season, their desire to return to the top tier is the team’s motivation. And I don’t see Athlone Town being an obstacle for them. Probably, Shelbourne will win with more than a goal difference.
