Athlone Town (H - FAI Cup)
Fair to say that the stakes couldn't be any higher than they are going into Friday's encounter - win, and a potential RTE debut could be the reward, while a loss would leave the club simply battling to stay ahead of our cup adversaries for the remainder of the season. Robbie Cleary made an instant impact in the Midlands on Saturday, but very few of the current squad could be said to be putting their hands up in recent weeks, so Healy will have to make do with the hand he's been dealt, rather than shuffling the decks. As for the visitors, they're about the only side in the division who've been just as much out of form over the last month, but former Shamrock Rovers man Gideon Tetteh continues to distinguish himself as a notable goal threat. One can only hope the side can take inspiration from the county football team battling their way back to the All-Ireland final after seemingly being totally out of form in the earlier stages.
