The equation is simple here. The winner goes straight through to the All-Ireland quarter-finals and the loser has a home preliminary quarter-final next weekend.

Down are the highest scorers in the group stages to date and Monaghan are fourth highest. Admittedly they got the best group, but anything other than a shoot out here would be a surprise.

Conor McCarthy’s form, Rory Beggan’s importance and Jack McCarron’s scoring - starting or as an impact sub - might give a pacey Monaghan side the edge, but as favouites and with the pressure on to win, this one will really test their mentality.
