Form Guide
Both teams stand on even footing in the Division One table with just two points each. After two rounds of the competition Mayo have come away with two draws and no wins, the first came against Galway and the second Armagh. On the other hand, Kerry suffered a shock loss in the first round of the competition where Donegal proved the better team by just a single point, a game that saw Jack O'Connor take aim at the officiating on the day. However, the All Ireland champions bounced back last week comfortably seeing off Monaghan 3-16 to 0-14. The last time these two sides met was the All-Ireland quarterfinals in June last year when eventual champions Kerry breezed past the Connacht side.
With James Horan now gone from the Mayo set-up and Kevin McStay looking to change the age demographic of the team as well as the way they play, there's no doubt the Mayo team will have a lot to prove as they meet their stiffest challenge of the year so far. Meanwhile, Kerry will be looking to settle their rocky start to 2023 and cement their place as the best team in the country again.
