In terms of personnel and ability, I do think Donegal have the team and bench to beat Dublin. But with only 1 week to prepare for this, It is a really tough ask.
I have a weird feeling Donegal are going to get goal's against Dublin in this game, they've been creating a lot of chances in games to date, and you just get the feeling if they click, they could easily score 3 or 4. Dublin are averaging around 25 points per game, and while they may score slightly less than average against a defensively strong side like Donegal, I still expect them to hit 20 points or so. Donegal won't win a point shootout with Dublin, but the have plenty of goal scorer's, and if they can manage 3 or 4 goal's, I think they will maybe win this.
I reckon Donegal will win on a score of 4-15 to 1-21, or something like that.

Replying To Mullerm: "I see Mc Guinness backing Donegal Saturday in IT. I think he is correct. Dubs won't win with O'Carroll, McCarthy, McCaffrey out for season and Alan Brogan retired. My prediction is Donegal 3-12 Dublin 0-12 .The dubs will struggle against blanket defense and won't score goals against Donegal plus they had a poor full back line to cope with Murphy /McBrearty duo" I dont think dublins full back line is poor, anybody would struggle with those two donegal players, theyre class

I'm sorry I've not read any posts on this particular topic but absolutely not - totally disagree with Jim and if he believes that shame on him - that's counter intuitive to what the GAA is all about and I think there's at least 5 teams on their day will beat the Dubs - I'm sure Dubs are gracious enough to appreciate that.
