Football : Ireland: First Division

Athlone Town extended their unbeaten run in the Irish second tier to four games overall with a point gained by way of a 1-1 draw away from home at Longford Town last time out which helped the hosts remain in the top five of the Irish First Division table.
Two wins along with two draws have placed Athlone Town in 4th place in the domestic second tier standings thanks mainly to victories gained at the expense of Finn Harps and Bray Wanderers respectively and recent results have seen a definite improvement for Ian Ryan’s side.
Three wins and just one loss within their last six matches overall suggests Athlone Town have recovered from their previous stumble of three straight defeats on the trot, while an overall home record of 4-2-1 10/6 should stand the hosts in good stead.
Treaty United sit bottom of the Irish First Division table having managed to capture just two wins from their 13 league matches played to date but nevertheless, the visitors registered a welcome 1-0 home win against Wexford last time out.
However, success has been very limited for Tommy Barrett’s side as they had previously failed to win any of their preceding six league matches which consisted of three draws along with being dealt three defeats.
Recent losses at the hands of UCD, Cobh Ramblers and Wexford, the latter two both being away from home in 4-0 and 3-2 losses respectively, while results away from home this season have been rather barren - indeed, Treat have yet to register an away win this season with a record of 0-3-4 7/15.
The Betting Verdict
Athlone Town’s recent resurgence suggests the hosts could edge this upcoming encounter.
The Pick :
Athlone Town 1-0 Treaty Utd
