Tyrone v Dublin Prediction: Preview, Odds & Betting Tips (2025)

🏆 Tyrone v Dublin Prediction

A thrilling weekend of Gaelic football awaits at Croke Park, with the Tyrone v Dublin quarterfinal shaping up to be the highlight of Saturday’s action. As we look ahead, here’s our Tyrone v Dublin prediction, with both teams aiming to secure a spot in the All-Ireland semi-final.

Dublin have shown moments of vulnerability this season, particularly in their performances against Meath and Armagh, far from the dominance we’ve come to expect over the past 15 years. Their display against Armagh at Croke Park, where they registered 17 wides, was especially poor. However, they bounced back with a win over Derry in their final group game to earn a preliminary quarterfinal against Cork. That victory now gives them a shot at reigniting their 2025 campaign against Tyrone.

Tyrone, too, have experienced ups and downs this season. Still, they’ll believe they have a big performance in them come Saturday evening. Malachy O’Rourke’s side delivered when it mattered against Donegal in Ballybofey and only narrowly lost to Armagh in the Ulster semi-final. However, their lacklustre display against Mayo is a concern. This is something they cannot afford to repeat against Dublin.

These two sides have served up some memorable clashes over the past two decades, and fans will hope this one adds to that legacy. Both have shown glimpses of All-Ireland potential, but consistency has been lacking when compared to some of the other contenders.

A win here could prove pivotal for either side. However, the return of Con O’Callaghan and improved form from key players like Cormac Costelloe and Paddy Small in the Cork game lead us to back Dublin. Our Tyrone v Dublin prediction is a narrow Dublin win; one that could go right to the wire.

⚽ Tyrone Squad Form

Tyrone advanced directly to the All-Ireland quarterfinal by topping Group 1, which featured Donegal, Cavan, and Mayo. They opened with a strong win away to Donegal but were then undone by Mayo at home. A crucial neutral-ground clash against Cavan followed, where Malachy O’Rourke’s side impressed with a commanding 0-31 – 0-18 victory.

Brian Kennedy, who missed the Mayo match, returned for the Cavan game and made an impact. Darren McCurry, Darragh Canavan, and Mattie Donnelly were also in top form, contributing a combined 0-18. The only downside was an injury to Michael McKernan, who left the field with an arm issue. His absence against Dublin would be a major blow as Tyrone aim for their first semi-final appearance since lifting Sam Maguire in 2021.

⚽ Dublin Squad Form

Dublin saw their Leinster dominance come to an end this year, suffering their first provincial defeat since 2010. They then faced Galway, Armagh, and Derry in the group stage, ultimately finishing second behind Armagh. That result led to a preliminary quarterfinal clash with Cork at Croke Park.

Manager Dessie Farrell chose to rest Con O’Callaghan for that match, but Dublin still managed a 1-19 – 1-16 win. In Con’s absence, Paddy Small, Cormac Costelloe, and Sean Bugler stepped up, contributing 0-14 between them. Veterans like Ciaran Kilkenny, Brian Howard, and John Small have yet to hit top gear in this year’s championship, but a blockbuster quarterfinal against Tyrone may be just the spark needed to ignite their form.
