James Horan, Wooly and Dick Clerkin's All-Ireland final predictions are vastly different

It's only three days away now and the level of intrigue surrounding the latest Dublin v Kerry All-Ireland final will not abate until throw-in time on Sunday.

Ahead of the game, former Mayo manager James Horan and Monaghan stalwart Dick Clerkin joined Off The Ball's Colm 'Wooly' Parkinson to preview the game and they also gave their predictions.

"I fancy Kerry," said James, who is backing them to prevail by three points, "I think it will be a good game - two attack-minded teams. I think when it comes to it, it will be tight coming down the stretch. I think Kerry's fundamental skillset right throughout the team will stand to them when the pressure is greatest. Kerry, when the pressure is on, give away very few turnovers. They make very poor decisions."

Meanwhile, Clerkin is backing the other side to come out on top.

"I'm going for Dublin. I think it will be tight but I think Dublin will pull away at the end for the last five minutes. I think their subs which just make the difference," he said.

"I'll go with Dublin as well," concluded Wooly, "only because Kerry scored three goals against them the last time. Dublin aren't playing as well as two years ago, but they still scored three goals against Dublin and still couldn't beat them." 

James, Wooly and Clerkin also previewed the game in detail, looking at the tactics of both sides which you can listen to on the podcast.
