A win will move Town to within three points of tonight's opposition.
Athlone Town Manager Ian Ryan says he has nothing but respect for tonight's opponents Cork City.
The midlanders travel down south for their seventh league game of the season, as they look to bounce back following defeat away to Treaty United last weekend.
Town currently sit third in the league table on 10 points, six off Cork City, who occupy top spot.
Ryan says there is no fear heading towards the table toppers:
Kick off is at 7:45pm from Turner's Cross this evening.
You can listen to the full interview on Ahead Of The Game tonight from 7:00pm on Midlands 103.
