"John McDonnell's men go to Athlone having served up Over 2.5 Goals in 7/9 at home and away and we're confident the Super Drogs can get this one over the line too"

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.804/5 in Athlone v Drogheda

Drogheda are on their way to Athlone and Tobias Gourlay's expecting it to be quite an encounter on Friday night

Athlone v Drogheda
Friday 19:45

Our China bet got smashed this morning. Hebei CFFC 4 Henan 3 in Qinhuangdao.

Something similar would be quite alright in Ireland this evening. This season, eight of Athlone Town's first nine League of Ireland matches have delivered Over 2.5 Goals and we're banking on another high scorer at Lissywollen tonight.

Since Alan Matthews took charge last season 10/13 league games there have gone over the goals line.

In the third round of the season, Drogheda hosted Athlone and drew 2-2. John McDonnell's men go to Athlone having served up Over 2.5 Goals in 7/9 at home and away and we're confident the Super Drogs can get this one over the line too.
