Roscommon welcome Meath to Dr Hyde Park for their All Ireland Football Group Stage clash on May 31st. Throw-in for the big match in Roscommon is scheduled for 18:00 GMT, with Paul Faloon the referee in charge for the clash. Roscommon go into the match after a 10-point loss to Kerry in Round 1, while Meath secured that all-important win against Cork in their Round 1 fixture.
In this look ahead to what is now a hugely important tie for the home side, we will show you the latest betting odds, as well as provide you with a selection of betting tips if you fancy having a flutter on this Group 2 match. We will also give you our Roscommon v Meath prediction, so read on to find out all you need to know before the two sides meet.
🏆 Roscommon v Meath Prediction
Meath head to Roscommon with the freedom of knowing they have already clinched a vital win in their opening match against Cork in Round 1. That win could free Robbie Brennan’s men ahead of this clash with Roscommon, which could make the Royals difficult to beat for Davy Burke’s Roscommon team. Roscommon go into the match with quite a few questions to answer. They may have achieved promotion back to Division 1 of the League earlier in the year, but their last few performances have failed to get their fans excited about the direction the side seems to be going.
Their weak showing in their Connacht semi-final against Galway was particularly worrying looking at this Roscommon outfit. They kicked off their Group 2 campaign with a trip to Kerry but never really troubled the Kingdom before succumbing to a 3-18 – 0-17 defeat. Meath lost their Leinster Final with Louth but responded in the right way against Cork to fully deserve their 1-13 – 0-12 win. They look to be in a more positive place than Roscommon heading into this one and look well placed to claim the two points on offer. The two sides met in the League earlier in the year, with Meath clinching a 2-18 – 0-17 win. They impressed in that match, and another Royal victory is our Roscommon v Meath All-Ireland SFC prediction.
OUR PREDICTION: 🏆 MEATH TO WIN 🏆

✔️ Roscommon v Meath Betting Tips
At this stage of our prediction, we are providing a selection of tips that may prove useful for those with any free bet offers available to use or those who wish to just have a bet on the clash in the Hyde. We expect an away win for the Royal County in this one, below you will find 3 betting tips based around our prediction.
- Meath to Win: Meath picked up a crucial win against Cork in their first match of the group stages, which could free them up to have a right cut off this away match in Roscommon. Although they only beat Cork by four points, they were the better team throughout, and if they can sharpen up their shooting, they could be even more dangerous against Roscommon on May 31st. Of the eight matches played in the four groups in Round 1 of the Group Stage, there have been five away wins, and we think Meath can add another one to the list. If you agree, you can get a price of 2.10 with Lunubet on Meath leaving Roscommon with the 2 points.
- Jordan Morris to Score a Goal Anytime: Jordan Morris made his comeback from injury against Louth in the Leinster Final and hit a point on his return. Against Cork in their opening group match, the forward really marked his return by hitting what proved to be a vital goal for his county as they began Group 2 with a win. Meath produced some brilliant football against Cork but didn’t always take advantage of their play. If they can against Roscommon, expect Morris to be at the forefront of their good attacking play.
- Matthew Costelloe to be named Man of the Match: The Dunshaughlin man has been in brilliant form this season, hitting 1-25, with 1-18 coming from play. He has stepped up time and again for Meath this season, and if they are to leave Roscommon with the two points, the performance of the forward could have a major bearing on what happens.
⚽ Roscommon Squad Form
Roscommon began their Group 2 campaign with a difficult trip to Kerry. They were able to contain the Kingdom for much of the first half and some of the second before Kerry pulled away easily in the end to win by 10. That was Roscommon’s 2nd defeat in a row, after their meek exit to Galway in Connacht, where they failed to really lay a glove on their opponents. Davy Burke made seven changes from the team beaten by Galway to the side that faced Kerry and will hope any changes he makes for this one will have an impact in what is a crucial game for Roscommon, with only a game against Cork to come after this one.
⚽ Meath Squad Form
Meath did well to somewhat put the disappointment of their Leinster Final defeat to Louth behind them with an important win in their group opener against Cork. That loss could easily have lingered into the Cork game and affected their performance, but Robbie Brennan’s men were the better side throughout and fully deserved their victory. Brennan made two changes to the team against Cork, with Jordan Morris marking his starting return with 1-1 to help his side to the two points.
