The throw-in for the match is 18:00 GMT, and for those wondering what channel Clare v Tipperary is on, GAA+ will be showing the match live as part of their 2025 Championship coverage.
The match will be crucial for both sides in their quest to remain in the 2025 Championship, with only the Top 3 continuing in this year’s Championship. Clare and Tipperary have 1 point after 2 matches, with both counties drawing their opening games, before suffering defeats in Round 2. Another loss could be catastrophic for either team, so both will be doing their utmost to claim the 2 points on offer when they meet at Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chíosóg. Read this guide for the latest odds, some betting tips, as well as our match prediction.
🏆 Clare v Tipperary Prediction
Let’s get into our Clare v Tipperary prediction, ahead of the game in Ennis on May 10th. This match has turned into a vital clash for both Clare and Tipperary, after their defeats in Round 2 against Waterford and Cork, respectively. Defeat for either could leave their hopes of a Top 3 finish in tatters, which for Clare, as defending All-Ireland champions, would be disastrous, after the 2024 season that Brian Lohan and his team had.
The prospect of potentially exiting the Championship might just spur on the All-Ireland champions. So, our Clare v Tipperary prediction is that Clare reignites their season with a crucial win. Clare will hope that some of their key players step up in Ennis and remind everyone of the kind of form that saw them bring Liam McCarthy back to the Banner County in 2024. If they can, they should have too much for Liam Cahill’s Tipperary team after the 70 minutes.

✔️ Clare v Tipperary Betting Tips
Below, you will find 3 betting tips that will hopefully point you in the right direction if you have any free bet offers to avail of, or if you just fancy a bet on the big match.
- Tip 1: Over 2.5 Goals: Both Clare and Tipperary can raise multiple green flags on their day, so expect there to be goals when they face off in Ennis. Tipperary scored 2 against Limerick in their opening match, and with players like John McGrath and Jason Forde, they have players with the ability to find the back of the net. Clare, for their part, put 3 past Cork in their opening draw and have the likes of Peter Duggan and David Reidy, who are more than capable of scoring goals.
- Tip 2: Peter Duggan to score a goal at any time: Peter Duggan has shown so far in the Munster Championship what a nuisance he can be when he is positioned close to the opposition’s goal. He troubled Cork throughout their match, ending with 1-1. He also hit 4 points against Waterford, so we know he is in form ahead of this vital clash with Tipperary on May 10th.
- Tip 3: John McGrath to score a goal at any time: The Loughmore-Castleiney man could be a crucial part of Tipperary’s team if they are to go on and beat Clare when they meet in Ennis. With Darragh McCarthy looking likely to miss the game, McGrath will be vital as that goal threat inside, as Tipperary look to survive in this year’s Championship. He hit 2-1 against Limerick, so look out for the 2016 All-Star to make an impact against Clare.
📈 Clare Squad Form
Clare had a poor League campaign, which saw the defending All-Ireland champions relegated from Division 1A. They kicked off their Munster Championship against Cork and were blown away by the Rebels in the 1st half, losing at half time by 0-9 -2-15. They showed remarkable spirit and a champion's mentality to fight back in the 2nd half, however, led by the likes of Tony Kelly, Aidan McCarthy, and David Reidy. A weak defeat by Waterford in their second match, a match in which they struggled in the 2nd half, means they head into the Tipperary match needing a win if they want to keep their All-Ireland crown.
⚽ Tipperary Squad Form
Tipperary had a fine League campaign, making the Final, before losing to Cork. They began their Munster Championship with a credible draw against defending Munster champions Limerick, with John McGrath starring for Liam Cahill’s men, hitting 2-1. Defeat to Cork in their second game means the Clare game has become a must-win, and Cahill will look to the likes of Jake Morris, Craig Morgan, Ronan Maher, and Eoghan Connolly to lead his side to a much-needed win against Clare.
👕 Clare v Tipperary Predicted Lineups
Both sides have played 2 games in this season’s Munster Championship, so below we have given you our projected lineups for the game in Ennis.
