Kevin McStay says Sunday's second All-Ireland SFC semi-final has the potential to be "the game of the season".

Writing on rte.ie, the former Mayo star and respected media pundit predicts a Dublin victory, but isn't dismissing Donegal's chances either.

"It won't be pretty but it will be intriguing. Last Sunday we got an amazing finish to the Mayo versus Kerry game and this week the same potential is there," he states.

"Remember the game we got back in 2011 when Donegal were trying to establish themselves and Dublin felt they were good enough to be champions? Three years on from that, much has changed and both sides have the confidence that being a champion team brings.

"Donegal are not as good as 2012 and Dublin are better than they were last year. It all points to the reigning All-Ireland champions at this stage and I can't disagree. But strap yourself in for an amazing spin around Croke Park, at speed, and into previously untravelled territory.This promises to be the game of the season.

"If Donegal prevent Dublin from scoring goals they might sneak a win. If they concede one, they will lose by four or five points. If they concede more than one goal, the winning margin might be anything."
