Athlone Town vs. Finn Harps

Athlone Town opened the Republic of Ireland First Division season with a 3-1 win over Longford Town. The defense is still a concern, however, as last year they surrendered 75 goals in 32 matches, the second-most allowed. Athlone Town's last six league matches have seen 3 or more goals scored with five sailing OVER. In addition, eight of their last 11 league home games have featured at least 3 goals scored with five going OVER. Finn Harps moved down to the First Division after spending last season in the Irish Premier League where the defense allowed 71 goals in 36 matches. They lost to Galway United in the opener, 2-1, and have allowed 10 goals over the last three contests. The last two meetings between these teams were final scores of 3-1 and 4-0, and this shapes up as another offensive show. Take Athlone Town/Finn Harps OVER the total.
