Dublin did a poor job of putting a very understrength Kerry team to bed, a last minute goal could have put a different outlook on the game. I'd like to think we can take the Dub just like we did in the same fixture last year, James Kielt is on flying form at the minute, him and Skinner might be a bit much for the Dubs to handle but we'll see.

Dublin might try a bit harder than Tyrone so it looks like being a close one.
Dublin wouldnt want to give away any frees within 50 m of the goals or Derry will punish them.

Derry by a goal

think derry will win by little. After beating tyrone they'll be ready and i think they'll be taking it really serious after their first win

I dont want to get too carried away over Derry beating Tyrone, Because we will more than likely be 'favourites' and you know what happens when we are favourites!!! So I reckon Dublin will win this one!

Really think Dublin will win this , but shouldnt due to the talent in the Derry squad. Derry historically dont play well against Dublin and I think that has in part been due to an inferiority complex on Derry's behalf. Whilst Tyrone are now comfortable with who they are I think Derry need to start putting away teams like Dublin if they're going to make any serious strides towards Sam. Dont see it happening yet .

Dubs by 2-3 points if they can produce the same performance again should be interesting game...

I think Derry will be a bigger test for Dublin than Kerry in Kllarney was because Derry tend to take the League more seriously than the Kingdom. I expect Derry to win this one by a few Points.

Dublin easily.

I mean, Derry struggled to beat Tyrone.

Derry by two. I think they'll win the league and will be hard to beat this year in the NFL.

i wouldnt be so sure. id say the dubs at home will almost certainly be favourites. they did beat the all ireland champions orlaigh and they played well. i think dublin will justify their favourites tag and beat derry by two points. im expectin a good game though, as it was last year.

Derry to win. Dublin will be still in experimental mode while Derry are usually the team that shines brightest in the league

Hmmmmm....I really think this will be a tight game unlike last time we met, based on form from last weekend. Derry to shade it though.

I hope Derry get stuffed and dont reach the NFL final or even get near it, that way they might try and win something meaningful like an Ulster!

I don't think you can take form into this one Jackeen. Good article in the indo today about Dublins inability to capitalise on an opening victory in the league. Its very rare that we do 2 in a row in the first 2 games especially after we start the campaign with a win.
But fingers crossed I'm wrong, I'd like to see the good work continue
