Allianz Football League Match Predictions: Kerry Well Positioned To Dominate Galway
All-Ireland champs Kerry slipped up in round two with defeat to Donegal but that will only include to their appetite for the go to of Galway to the Kingdom.
The huge question is whether David Clifford, the country's finest footballer, will start. If he does, it must be plain cruising for the home side.
The fortnight break since their last outing will have been a present to Jack O'Connor, who can gradually begin embedding his Dingle contingent, and it is difficult to imagine anything besides a cosy Kerry win. The four-point handicap should be surpassed with ease.
Meath vs Louth
5pm Saturday
Meath ought to actually have won last year's Leinster last against Louth but didn't. Conceding three goals proved their undoing and it was a well-known day for the Wee County who ended their provincial drought.
Since then the two sides have actually entered different directions, although. Meath reached the All-Ireland semi-final and beat subsequent champions Kerry and Galway along the method. They have actually won their first two trips in Division 2 this year and Robbie Brennan has actually guaranteed some stability and progress.
Jordan Morris is back firing on all cylinders, Jack Flynn has been remarkable over the last few weeks and Ruairi Kinsella is pulling all the strings in the half-forward line. Things could not be going any much better and they are facing their neighbours at the perfect time.
Louth were truly poor in their loss to Cork and didn't play especially well in the opening round either, regardless of finishing the job in the end against Offaly.
Meath have a rating to settle against Louth. There is revenge available for that cruel Leinster last defeat and in 2015 loss, also. Expect the Royals to win handsomely at Croke Park and defy a three-point handicap.
The Royals have a lot of speed in advance now with Morris and James Conlon, who promises to begin, so objectives could be on the menu. Odds of 11-8 for them to get two or more majors appeals.
Kildare vs Derry
6.30 pm Saturday
The betting looks all incorrect for Derry's clash with Kildare in Division 2.
Tyrone were missing out on a whole host of their huge names in round 2 and still probably need to have come away with something from their trip to Derry, who stumbled over the line to record a much-needed competitive success. There haven't been a lot of of them over the in 2015.
Kildare are gradually developing under Brian Flanagan and there have been lots of positives to draw from their opening 2 outings in Division 2.
They are unbeaten, have unearthed some elegant brand-new recruits and confidence is high. Odds of 23-10 are extremely generous.
Down vs Westmeath
6pm Saturday
Down are a shade lucky to be on maximum points after two rounds and there is a huge promotion showdown with Westmeath at Esler Park next on the agenda.
Given they have home advantage and a whole host of sophisticated forwards in the starting line-up, the two-point handicap looks on the skimpy side and the hosts should look after them en path back to Division 2.
They look a cut above every side in the division and the longer the league goes on the much better they are going to get.
