Dublin legend Ciaran Whelan has not been impressed by Mayo this season, and can't see them beating Armagh this weekend.
Mayo had lost their opening two games of the National League before grinding out a win against Tyrone home last weekend, and finally getting two points on the board.
Their journey doesn't get any easier however, as they travel to The Athletic Grounds on Saturday night to face the All-Ireland champions in their home ground.
Speaking on the RTÉ GAA Podcast, the former Dublin midfielder wasn't convinced by Kevin McStay's side, despite getting the win over Tyrone.

"They had a very poor game last week. I’d be worried about Mayo’s forward line and their ability to get scores.
"They really look to be struggling around the outside of the arc in terms of their creativity, movement, and getting lads on the ball.
"They did nothing last week to indicate to me that they will go up and turn over the All-Ireland champions."
The Orchard county's only victory in the league so far is also against Tyrone, but they have lost to both Galway and Donegal rather convincingly.
Last weekend's game against Donegal saw Aidan Forker receive a red card which means he will miss the next two games, but When says that Kieran McGeeney will be hoping that Rory Grugan will be back soon, and that he can call on Rian O'Neill in the latter stages of the league.
"I thought they lacked a bit of potency in the forward line without the likes of Rory Grugan who really makes them tick, he’s their leader in there.
"And there is also the elephant in the room with Rian O’Neill missing, and the leadership he gives them.
"While they kicked a couple of two pointers, and got back to within two points, and you were thinking they could back into the game, but Donegal were comfortable.
"I don’t think Armagh are too bothered about the league, they’ll get their four or six points, they have enough quality, they have the structure there and have a very good counterattacking game. So I’d expect that they will win this weekend."
The game between Armagh and Mayo is scheduled for a 5pm throw-in, and will be broadcast live on TG4.
