*Tyrone beat Dublin (1-14 to 1-11) in this year Allianz League clash in Omagh on March 16.

PREVIOUS CHAMPIONSHIP MEETINGS

They have met only four times in the championship, with each having won twice.

2015: Mayo 2-13 Donegal 0-11 (All-Ireland quarter-final)

2013: Mayo 4-17 Donegal 1-10 (All-Ireland quarter-final)

2012: Donegal 2-11 Mayo 0-13 (All-Ireland final)

1992: Donegal 0-13 Mayo 0-9 (All-Ireland semi-final)

*They meet for the first time since the 2015 All-Ireland quarter final, which Mayo won. They also won the 2013 quarter-final, leaving Donegal seeking their first championship win over Mayo since the 2012 All-Ireland final.

*Donegal are bidding to reach the semi-final for the first time since 2014 while Mayo were last there in 2017.

*The last Allianz League meeting between the counties was a dramatic affair. It came in the final round last year’s competition when a stoppage time point by Kevin McLoughlin for Mayo brought the game level (0-13 each). It was a very significant result as it left Donegal relegated. If they won, they would have survived in Division 1 and Mayo would have been relegated.

MEATH v KERRY

A draw would be enough for Kerry to secure a semi-final place. A defeat would also see them through if Donegal beat Mayo. If Kerry lost and Mayo won, Mayo would go through, with the second place between Kerry and Donegal decided on scoring returns.

Having lost their two previous games, Meath are out of contention.
