Limerick have finished up on the losing side in two games against Sligo so far this year - in Division 3 and a challenge in recent weeks.

On that basis, the Yeats County are favourites to advance to the next round of the qualifiers but John Brudair's side have built up a head of steam and won't be easily dislodged from the All-Ireland series.

Wins over London and Antrim have instilled belief in the Shannonsiders and a trip to Markievicz Park doesn't faze them despite having lost 0-13 to 0-15 there back in February.

"In the league it was a game we should have won and although they beat us by a couple of points we know we can beat them," manager Brudair claimed this week.

Sligo also have a pep in their step following their victory over Wicklow last time out and manager Pat Flanagan said: "If we play as I know we can I think we can get through."

A difficult one to call, home advantage could swing the tie in Sligo's favour.

Verdict - Sligo.
