Game now heading for a sell out going by media reports. Looks like the Mayo support is back (could be our final game) on the back of the victory in Omagh.
I really don't know what to say….its getting harder and harder to predict Mayo games. Will just have to wait and see.

Rochford likes to make changes so there will be a few probably.
Going to be a tough game, all pundits i have heard are going for Donegal and the bookies, and cant see much arguments to go against them.
Mayo support going into this with hope, hope for a performance they will need to up the Tyrone performance by alot to get anything on Sunday. Then there is a bit of hope that Donegal will start thinking of games that are ahead if Tyrone are winning well against Cavan, but to be honest I hope that doesn't happen. I want Mayo to win cause the deserve it on Sunday and i don't want a draw to prolong the year.

Draw suits both teams, that's my prediction now, if we are level round the 65 min mark and Tyrone are winning well I can see us playing out the draw.

Also, Mayo have no safety net if Tyrone beat Cavan. A defeat means end of season. Say it's level, we let Donegal play keep ball for the last few minutes.. then the hooter goes. What's to stop langan, mcbrearty etc having a pop at the posts with the last kick of the game?
Mayo can't bet their season on Donegal doing the gentlemanly thing..

This is not the All Ireland Champions or the Dublin teams of past they are playing. Donegal are by no means the finished article and have , in the past 2 seasons, been caught by both Tyrone and Cork in the group stages. Mayo, if they play to their strengths, should not fear this Donegal team and have a great chance if they do.

I don't think at this stage you can afford to play for a draw. A winning mentality gives great momentum and confidence. I still think Mayo need to up their game massively. Tyrone were off the last day in the same way Mayo were off when Cavan visited. Mayo have a big game in them but its the type of game we haven't seen from them in a while

Going on 2025 form of both teams we have to improve an awful lot to avoid defeat on Sunday.

If mayo play Galway tomorrow it feels almost 50/50 but mayo seem large underdogs
Similarly whenever rossies are playing a Kerry I except them to get a hiding but if playing Galway or Mayo I'd expect to be tight
1-7 I think mayo are as good as anyone and can tie up likes of gallen Thompson.
It all depends on other end. Young rourty reminds me a lot of Jonny McGrath so may get job on ROD and mccole is a good match up on AOS

I don't think they were . I think we just put in a big performance v Tyrone . Donegal are not as good as the media say .

100% Mayo need to up there performance from the Tyrone game, the performance was good and its a great starting point especially after the Cavan performance.
Tyrone did seem flat or heavy legged, and Mayo got the goals at very good times, you wont Morgan do that again with a high ball. Tyrone did what Mayo would do, get a big result and then go out the next day and disappoint, lack consistency.
Mayo need to improve again on the Tyrone game and also get some luck and then they have a chance of beating Donegal.
They cant be running into the crowded defence Donegal have, they want the turnover and then they all burst up the field, Mayo will have to try and work space or have there shooting boots from long range and makesure ball goes dead at least and then try and push up on Donegals kickouts. An in form Boland would be useful here, could be a Rochford surprise late addition, Rochford will usually do something different.
Dont be surprised for first few Donegal attacks to be high ball into Murphy, McBrien most likely to pick him up but could struggle under a high ball against Murphy and if theres an early goal out of it then thats disaster..

Still it was a pretty dismal fan showing so far.

It's not possible to have huge attendances at every match now with the new format and more compact season.
Previously you'd be straight into a quarter final after winning a provincial title. These group games and prelim qfs are glorified qualifier games from the previous all Ireland format so attendances will reflect that.
