Cuala CAC v Coolera Strandhill Prediction, Betting Odds & Tips

🏆 Cuala CAC vs Coolera Strandhill Prediction

To kick off my Coolera Strandhill vs Cuala preview, let’s look at the match prediction for this Gaelic Football Semi-Finals. The Sligo champions, Strandhill, won their first ever Connacht Championship and became the first Sligo team in 41 years to win the Connacht title when they defeated Roscommon champions Padraig Pearses in the Provincial decider back in early December. The men from Sligo shocked Pearses after extra time on a scoreline of 1-15 – 1-14 and will be heavy underdogs against Leinster champions Cuala who come into this Semi-Final off the back of winning their first ever Dublin and Leinster titles under their manager Austin O’Malley.

Cuala were pushed all the way by Louth side Ardee St Mary’s in the Leinster decider before prevailing by a single point at the end, and head into Sunday’s match as favourites to reach the final on January 19th. Whichever team triumphs on Sunday will create history by reaching their first ever All-Ireland Final, but I would expect Cuala to have too much for the Sligo champions and led by the likes of Con O’Callaghan, Mick Fitzsimons and Luke Keating, I predict them to reach the Final against either Dr Crokes or Errigal Ciaran.

1️⃣ Cuala Recent Form

Cuala head to Breffni Park after a record-breaking year for the Gaelic Footballers of the south Dublin club. They won their first ever Dublin County Championship, beating Kilmacud Crokes in the county decider by a single point. They then made it through to their first ever Leinster Final, beating Louth champions Ardee St Mary’s by a point to reach Sunday’s Semi-Final against Strandhill.

2️⃣ Coolera Strandhill Recent Form

Strandhill won just their fourth Sligo County Championship when they picked up the title for the second consecutive year this season. They then won their first ever Connacht Championship when they beat the highly fancied Padraig Pearse club from Roscommon in the decider to earn their place against Cuala on Sunday. They go into the Semi-Final against Cuala as underdogs, but the Sligo side have been underestimated for much of the run through Connacht, so will not mind if they are considered outsiders for the game against the Dublin champions.

👕 Cuala CAC vs Coolera Strandhill Predicted Lineups

Listed below are the starting lineups that Cuala and Strandhill used in their respective Provincial Finals. For Cuala, the key person in their Leinster Final win was Con O’Callaghan. The Dublin star was one of the main reasons why the Dublin side made such a great start in their Provincial win over Ardee St Mary’s.

Coolera Strandhill came back from five down to tie the game after 60 minutes in their Connacht win over Padraig Pearses, before stepping up a gear to win the match by a point after extra time. Niall Murphy and substitute Adam Higgins both contributed greatly, with 0-08 points of their total coming from the duo.
