Mattie McGleenan claims all the pressure is on Donegal to win Sunday's Ulster SFC preliminary round clash with Cavan.

Despite the sides going in opposite directions in terms of the Allianz League table, Donegal are favourites to progress, having not lost a game in Ballybofey since 2010.

"We know the talent of Michael Murphy, the McHughs, the McBreartys... We know their capabilities, but we have nothing to lose, all the expectation is on Donegal to win," the Cavan manager told the Irish News.

"The pressure is on them to deliver a performance and beat us comfortably.

"Nobody gives Cavan a pup's chance, but this Cavan team is on the up, we're making progress and to make progress you have to produce a big performance and we're under no illusion what that's going to take on Sunday.

"It's about our performance, it's about how we approach the game. Ulster football is a case of will. The skill will be important, but the 'will' is far more important. The team that wants it enough will be the winner."
