Weekend Football Championship predictions
London v Galway
3pm Saturday, GAAGO
London beat Waterford and drew with Tipperary in Division 4 of the League this spring, but they conceded three goals in a drubbing at the hands of Longford, Laois found the net twice against them and Carlow scored 1-17 in their final group game.
At the same stage of the Connacht Championship last season, Sligo scored 2-20 in a 14-point win so expect Galway to rack up a huge score when they visit Ruislip on Saturday.
All the talk in the build-up seems to be about the 2019 scare when Galway won only 0-16 to 1-9, so complacency shouldn't be an issue and the advice is to get on Galway in the goals markets.
They managed to get three against Monaghan in the League and it wouldn't be a surprise if they opened up London for four or five.
Cork v Limerick
2pm Sunday
Limerick finished bottom of Division 3 of the League without a single point to their name, so expect Cork to cash in on their lack of confidence with a huge win in their Munster showdown.
The Rebels are ticking along nicely and claimed seven out of a possible eight points in the final four rounds of Division 2.
Monaghan v Cavan
RTE & BBC, 4pm Sunday
Monaghan finally succumbed to relegation from Division 1 this year, but they were in an All-Ireland semi-final last year and that has perhaps not been properly factored into the market for their Ulster opener with Cavan on Sunday.
There may be a few of the Farney Army in the twilight of their careers, but there might be one last hurrah in the likes of Conor McManus in 2024 and it is a surprise to see them available at odds-against to defy a two-point handicap.
Cavan picked up one point from their last three outings in Division 2 of the League and were lucky to do so. It's debatable whether they are up to Monaghan's level just yet, especially given Sunday's opener is being played in Clones.
