Dublin head into the final round of Allianz Football League action seeking a win over Tyrone on Sunday, as they continue their bid for a place in the Division 1 final.

Victory at Croke Park would ensure Dublin's place in the Division 1 decider. 

Dublin beat Galway by 0-22 to 0-14 last weekend, recording a fourth win in succession in the process. 

In those four games, Dublin were particularly impressive against Kerry and Derry and will head into Sunday’s Croke Park clash full of confidence. 

Con O’Callaghan played his role in the Dublin attack against Galway brilliantly as he picked up nine points for himself and he was well supported on the scoresheet as the trio of Killian McGinnis, Ross McGarry and Seán Bugler were vital to the Dublin cause. 

Tyrone have picked up three wins and three defeats from their six Allianz Football League matches so far.

Last time out, they beat Monaghan by three points in Omagh, ending the Farney Men’s decade-long spell in Division 1 whilst securing top-flight football for themselves in 2025. 

Darren McCurry, Darragh Canavan and Kieran McGeary were the driving forces behind the hard-fought win, with Canavan bagging himself a tidy 1-7. 

Should he retain his place in goals, Evan Comerford will be looking to continue his clean sheet start to the season, whilst his teammates Tom Lahiff, Killian McGinnis, Daire Newcombe and Killian O’Gara will also be keen to continue their form. 

One man’s threat in particular has seemingly gone under the radar. Joe Oguz is a midfield threat that Tyrone possess and was instrumental to their win last Saturday night.

A place in the league final is in Dublin’s hands.
