Both teams played below average in their games this weekend. Mayo were lucky to get the win in my opinion; weather was a huge factor in that game in all fairness. As for Tyrone they deserved to lose today; they need to practice on their shooting by the looks of it. Tyrone at home can be very different to Tyrone away sometimes. James Horan will have his homework done for this one will have Mayo going out full pelt. If Tyrone attack more I can see this being a decent game; I think Mayo will grab this one at the end of.

Mayo +1" The gale-force wind in Castlebar on Saturday evening made a lottery of even fist passing to a team mate five yards away; hard to gauge anything from that evening's football. I suspect that Tyrone in Omagh will be a tough nut to crack, due to our propensity in recent seasons to start slowly, and also to struggle against counterattacking teams. Let Tyrone build an early lead and it could be a long afternoon, like in McHale Park last season. We have also had considerable difficulties at centre-field so far, missing SOS and Tom Parsons. Tyrone will be favourites IMO. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 28/01/2019 16:14:41 2160457 Link
Agree with Gleebo... Tyrone looked well oiled enough in the McKenna Cup. Facing a Kerry team in front of big home crowd, in PK's first competitive game, was never going to be easy. There were a lot more familiar faces in the Kerry starting 15 than I was expecting, so not so experimental. Tyrone will be looking to provide a backlash in Omagh and will be strong favourites to take the points. Mayo will likely experiment a bit more up front, whereas Tyrone need the points more and that'll see them home by 4 or 5. Hope I'm wrong!

The big question about Tyrone was are they going to be better than the 2018 version and so this that imo was to find better forwards. They have gone back for Coney and Mc Curry which is a worry for them as they weren't deemed good enough before. Tyrone are defensively very good and are always a well conditioned team but there is something robotic about them and lacking that creativity will mean they will fall short again on the biggest stage. It's hard to judge Mayo from last week due to the conditions but I think they'll give Tyrone a good test. Could be a slugfest in another wet event in Omagh. Draw!

Tyrone to go into early lead of 4 or 5 points and then sit back with bus parked and watch Mayo fool around with the ball and fail to break down Tyrone defence culmore (None) - Posts: 1398 - 28/01/2019 22:44:31 2160595 Link
Would like to see Mayo go for the jugular here . A win will almost certainly guarantee top flight status allowing Horan to put faith in some more youth for the remainder of the campaign. Vishred (Mayo) - Posts: 303 - 29/01/2019 09:42:00 2160633 Link

Mayo have won in Omagh previously and Tyrone aren't great in Healy Park, its certainly not a fortress. Both teams missing players so there's no real point comparing the missing players.

Would expect a massive improvement in Tyrones display and as its at home i see them been too strong for Mayo.. Tyrone by 6. Belclare1 (Galway) - Posts: 1626 - 29/01/2019 10:26:42 2160649 Link

Replying To Vishred: "betting wise its safer to put that margin on Dublin" I dont bet, however i already posted on that thread regards Dublin and Galway, this one is Tyrone v Mayo and as stated i fancy Tyrone to win by 6.. Belclare1 (Galway) - Posts: 1626 - 29/01/2019 12:30:54 2160681 Link

Your prediction is merely a stab in the dark based on no real form of either team, but lets put Tyrone to win by 6 anyways because in reality i dislike MAyoo Vishred (Mayo) - Posts: 303 - 29/01/2019 12:40:05 2160687 Link
You would have to fancy Tyrone at home but Mayo often get results when it's looking like we may be up against it. Draw would be a great result for Mayo but I've I'm backing I'll go for Tyrone (hope I'm wrong) yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11236 - 29/01/2019 13:06:38 2160703 Link

I can't disagree with anything you've said there Belclare, to be fair, and there's absolutely nothing to suggest Mayo will spring a surprise in Omagh.

I'd be worried about Tyrone. I was very disappointed with how we played in Killarney. The sooner we get points on the board the better. Mayo weren't great either against Roscommon. This will not be a walk in the park like the reverse fixture in Castlebar last year. We have a stronger panel now than Mayo and I'd like to see us reflect that on the pitch. Free-taker really needs sorted out. Morgan has insatiable confidence but his consistent record is one of missing a lot more than he scores at this level. Lee Brennan should be seeing more gametime. Canavan can wait. His time will come. I'd also like to see Coney in on the action. Big year ahead for a few very talented players in this team to see if they can reach the next level, ie T McCann and N Sludden. OGarmaile (Tyrone) - Posts: 248 - 30/01/2019 12:24:23 2160904 Link

Agree with most of this OG. I'd be worried as well after the Kerry performance. If you're beat by a better team fair enough. But the worrying thing is than Tyrone were out fought and out worked, something Tyrone pride themselves on. Big improvements needed. Canavan is very light for senior inter county. Still a cub, give him a year of S&C and unleash him next year. Sludden is a great player but sometimes drifts out of matches, great for 15 mins, quiet for 15 if you know what I mine. Still one of the first names on the team sheet. Looking forward to Sunday, hope the weather improves or the game won't be played!!!

Replying To Pericles: "I can't disagree with anything you've said there Belclare, to be fair, and there's absolutely nothing to suggest Mayo will spring a surprise in Omagh." Nothing? Tyrone could easily have lost that McKenna cup final to Armagh just up from div 3 and last Sunday Tyrone were well beaten and only managed 0-7 against a youthful Kerry team in transition. Finally the last Tyrone v Mayo meeting in Omagh (2 years) ended in a Mayo win. Yondu (UK) - Posts: 845 - 31/01/2019 12:27:36 2161163 Link

It's true that Mayo scored a last minute winner in Omagh 2 years ago, but the Mayo team this Sunday will be considerably weaker. Tyrone are better than 2017 while Mayo unfortunately have gone in the other direction. MayoDan (Mayo) - Posts: 420 - 31/01/2019 13:13:07 2161174 Link

The long journey down and bad conditions won't have helped our lads last weekend but they were poorer than I'd have ever imagined. OGarmaile (Tyrone) - Posts: 248 - 31/01/2019 13:43:03 2161182 Link
Just like last year against Galway on the opening day of the league Tyrone were slow, ponderous and low scoring. I wonder if this is a result of the training schedule so that by the summer they are flying and able to amass good scores. If this is the case it does not argue well for Sunday.
