Athlone Town vs Longford Town

Athlone Town at home have scored 26 goals in 27 matches and conceded 33, with 7 clean sheets. Their recent form is mixed (WLDLW), suggesting they can compete but may not consistently control games. Longford Town away have scored 34 goals in 26 matches and conceded 32, with 8 clean sheets. Their recent form is stronger (WWLWW), which supports the idea that they can keep games competitive and contribute to scoring. Even with both teams capable of scoring, the overall goal profiles lean toward fewer goals than a typical open game. Athlone’s lower scoring rate at home and the relatively modest combined goal totals (26+34 scored, 33+32 conceded) align with the under 2.5 goals angle, reflected in the 43.8% probability for over 2.5 and 50.1% for both teams to score. So the under 2.5 goals prediction looks plausible rather than certain, with a medium risk level. The draw and either side winning are fairly close in probability, meaning a tight match where one team fails to add a second goal would fit the under outcome.
