Tyrone will be disappointed not to have drawn against Galway last weekend. They really pushed hard near the end, coming close to an equaliser. After three games, Tyrone still have only two points on the table so they will really target this game. Likewise, Mayo will be kicking themselves that they didn’t get a result against Kerry. This game is really hard to call and wouldn’t be surprised to see a draw, but with their backs to the wall, I think Tyrone will push for the win.
Dublin v Kerry is the clash of the titans. Brace yourselves for great entertainment. Kerry are close to being back to full strength whereas the Dubs still have some players to come back into the fold. David and Paudie Clifford were awesome last weekend and picked up where they left off last year. I felt at times Kerry were very slow getting the ball into the inside line and as a result it was frustrating for the inside Kerry forwards. Dublin went after the game against Roscommon. Brian Fenton was outstanding and really broke through the Roscommon defence to set up attack time after time. I am going to go with a Dublin win here at 11/8.
Galway are coming up against the inform Derry in this round four clash, where the game has been switched from Tuam to Pearse Stadium. Derry have three wins out of three, while Galway have three points from three games. Galway have been minus the services of Damien Comer and Shane Walsh in recent outings. If they were available, I would fancy Galway. I believe with the return of Sean Kelly it will be a huge boost to the Tribesmen. But the chances of getting both Comer and Walsh back together are unlikely so with that, I think an away win for Derry at 4/9 is on the cards.
Below par Monaghan struggled to find any form last weekend against Derry so I expect to see a huge reaction from them against Roscommon. The Rossies struggled at times against Dublin but we all know how difficult they can be to beat at Dr Hyde Park. If Roscommon can contain Jack McCarron, it will be a home victory at 8/11.
