They play Cabinteely in Lissywoolen from 7:45pm.
The SSE Airtricity League First Division reaches a conclusion in the coming weeks and so with it, Athlone Town's efforts to achieve a playoff spot.
The midlanders hit a rough patch at the wrong time, managing only two wins in seven since the end of July and last week's defeat to basement dwelling Wexford will have particularly stung.
They now sit eight points off Bray Wanderers in the final playoff berth and know a defeat against Cabinteely and a win for the seagulls over Cork will mathematically end their chances.
A win however and they will be five behind with nine points left to play for.

It is a difficult run in for Paul Doolin. The follow tonight with trips to Tolka Park to play the league leaders and to Limerick to face a high-flying Treaty side.
Their final day date with 9th placed Cobh Ramblers is the most winnable fixture left on the board but it could well be all over by then.
Unlike many other clubs in the division, the Westmeath outfit have no suspension concerns ahead of this one.
