Shamrock Rovers - Athlone Town

Shamrock Rovers relegated last year have only one objective, instant promotion. At the moment everything looks rosy for them as they are unbeaten last 6 matches. Shanrocks' main strength is undoubtedly their defense, 6 goals conceded in 20 games, the best in the division. 5 cleansheets in last 5 matches.

Athlone are not doing very well, sitting 7 in the league. In last 4 matches without a goal and 12 scored altogether Athlone is is the least harmful team in the league. In two previous encounters Shamrock beat Athlone comfortable 2-0 and 3-0.

All in all Shamrock are promotion favourites, have teh best defense, unbeaten at home and playing the worst attack today. The outcome is crystal clear, isn't it.

I personally think that Athlone won't even score a goal and knowing that they will try to keep it at 0-0, so it might go Under as well.

Pick: Home win
