Mayo take on Galway in the Connacht Football Championship 2025 final. There is not much to split the two sides, and it will be a difficult match to call. It is a repeat meeting of last year's final where Galway edged Mayo with a one-point victory, with a dramatic late winner. With regards to what channel is Mayo v Galway on, the match will be televised live on RTE 2 at 16:00 GMT.

🏆 Mayo v Galway Prediction

Another chapter in the historic rivalry of Mayo and Galway will be written as the sides meet in the Connacht final. Galway were victorious over New York in the Connacht quarter final and beat Roscommon in the semi-final. Mayo have had wins versus Sligo and Leitrim, but their performances have flattered to deceive.

Both sides had strong league campaigns with Galway narrowly missing out on the league final whereas Mayo reached the league final but were comfortably beaten by Kerry who were much stronger on the day. Both sides will be desperate to add to their roll of honour in the Connacht championship and we believe Galway’s attacking firepower will be the difference in this one.

✔️ Mayo v Galway Betting Tips

Now we will take a look at some of our Mayo vs Galway betting tips that you could potentially wager on for this huge Connacht final clash, especially if you have any free bet offers with bookmakers.

  • Tip 1: Galway to Win: Based on quality and form.
  • Galway come into this one as the favourites, but it is slightly surprising that the odds are not closer. Galway probably have the stronger form heading into this one and will have quality in attack with Shane Walsh expected to be fit for this one. We expect Galway to get the win here but expect a tight game. This market is available with BoyleSports at odds of 1.50.

  • Tip 2: Mayo Handicap +3: Based on recent meetings.
  • As mentioned, we expect this game to be a tight encounter. When the sides met in the 2024 Connacht final, just one point separated the sides, with Galway running out the winners thanks to a late score from their goalkeeper Conor Gleeson. Galway ran out 10-point winners when the sides last met in the league in February, but with this game being a final, we expect it to follow a similar pattern to last year's meeting.BoyleSports are offering a +3 handicap for Mayo.

  • Tip 3: Robert Finnerty to score a goal anytime: Based on quality.
  • Robert Finnerty is one of the standout players in the Galway attack with Shane Walsh also potentially returning to the side after injury. Finnerty is in great form and Galway will be looking to the Salthill-Knocknacarra man to be the difference maker in this final with rivals Mayo. We are expecting a tight game, and a goal could very well be the difference, so expect the back of the net to be found in this one. Finnerty is a good bet to be the man to do it.

📈 Mayo Squad Form

Mayo had a very strong league campaign finishing top of the Division 1 table on 9 points. They lost out by 6 points to Kerry in the league final and defeated Sligo and Leitrim in the quarter final and semi-final of the Connacht championship respectively.

⚽ Galway Squad Form

Galway also had a strong Allianz National League campaign, narrowly missing out on a place in the league final, finishing level on points with 2nd place Kerry but missing out on the head-to-head rule. Galway defeated New York in the Connacht quarter final before defeating Roscommon in the semi-final.
