Back the draw seems the most logical approach when looking ahead to the All-Ireland final between Armagh and Galway, which is eagerly anticipated.
The clashes between the sides have been close since 2001, with the sides meeting six times. Galway have won four times, Armagh winning once, and the latest instalment was a draw in the group stages this year.
If Galway win this Sunday, they will become the first county since Kerry (1931) to reach double digits. If Armagh wins, they will leave Derry as the only county with one title on the AISFC Roll of Honour.

Éamonn Fitzmaurice expects bench to be crucial in All-Ireland final
Armagh manager Kieran McGeeney has made one change for Sunday's All-Ireland final against Galway with Connaire Mackin returning to the defence.
It seems a surprising move as the Shane O’Neill’s player has not appeared since the side’s All-Ireland group win over Derry at Celtic Park where his short appearance handed him a one-game ban for kicking out at Conor Glass.
O'Neill was introduced in the 64th minute of the quarter-final win over Roscommon but did not feature against Kerry despite the game going to extra-time.
The player to miss out is youngster Peter McGrane, who had been a mainstay all season.
While in the Galway side, Pádraic Joyce has recalled Galway captain Seán Kelly.
The Moycullen man went off injured in the first half of the All-Ireland quarter-final win over Dublin and was announced to begin the semi-final only to be replaced by Céin Darcy before throw-in.
Former All-Ireland winning boss Éamonn Fitzmaurice thinks both benches will play a major role in Sunday's huge tactical battle.
Writing in his column in the Irish Examiner, Éamonn Fitzmaurice said that the final is set up to be a "nail-biter." The Kerryman went on to say that the in-game management from both coaches would play a crucial role in deciding the destiny of Sam Maguire.
Both squads boast significant depth, and the potential impact of their replacements could be the deciding factor. I anticipate a tactical battle, with Galway responding to Armagh's substitutions with their own counter-measures. The potential for a close match adds an extra layer of anticipation for the fans.
When Stefan Campbell enters the fray, Kieran Molloy could spring to track him. It's the same story with Ross McQuillan and Johnny Heaney.
One thing is for sure: expect a classic.
