Meath take on Louth in the Leinster Football Championship final. The match will be held at 16:00 GMT on Sunday 11th May in Croke Park and will be broadcast live on RTE 2. The sides last met in a Leinster final in 2010 with the match ending in controversy with a late Meath goal. That will still be in the minds of Louth fans who will be hoping their county can get revenge 15 years on.

🏆 Meath v Louth Prediction

Meath stunned Dublin in the semi-final of the Leinster Championship defeating them by 4 points, ending their long unbeaten streak in the Leinster Championship, with their last defeat coming in 2010 also to Meath. Just like in 2010 Meath’s win over Dublin has set up a Leinster final clash with Louth. Louth won a tight semi-final with Kildare with a goal being the difference in their 1-18 to 0-18 point win.

With Dublin being knocked out the Leinster Championship has become an unpredictable one in this final, with both sides desperate to take advantage of the fact they are not playing Dublin in the final in Croke Park on May 11th. Meath’s strength in midfield and proficiency at kicking two pointers which was seen in their wins over Offaly and Dublin is what we believe will get them over the line in this very intriguing final.

✔️ Meath v Louth Betting Tips

Now we will turn our attention to our Meath vs Louth betting tips that you could think about using for this Leinster final clash, especially if you have any free bet offers with some bookmakers.

  • Tip 1: Meath to Win: Based on quality and form.
  • The bookmakers are finding it very difficult to split these two sides in this Leinster final clash. Meath are coming off an epic win over Dublin and will be riding a wave of momentum as a result. They have quality in their side with players like Eoghan Frayne and James Conlon in great form heading into this one, scoring 0-11 and 0-5 respectively versus Dublin. This market is available with DirectionBet at odds of 2.00.

  • Tip 2: Meath Handicap +1: Based on quality.
  • The handicap for this match makes for interesting reading with bookmaker DirectionBet Sport. There is not much to split the two sides in the odds and this is also the case with the handicap market. Surprisingly, after last weekend's results DirectionBet are actually favouring Louth in the handicap, although it is marginal at -1. Meath are in strong form, and we do expect this to be a tight game and if you are unsure about going for a win market then we recommend a Meath +1 handicap market. This market is available with DirectionBet at odds of 1.74

  • Tip 3: Sam Mulroy to score a goal anytime: Based on quality.
  • Meath are a team that are high scoring but often do not find the back of the net, opting to take advantage of the new two point rule. Louth are a side who do find the back of the net, with a goal the difference in their last game versus Kildare. They also scored 3 goals in their Leinster quarter final clash with Laois. Louth’s star man is Sam Mulroy and they will need him at his best if they are to win this Leinster final.

📈 Meath Squad Form

Meath are coming off the back of two excellent scoring performances in their two Leinster championship matches to this point. They defeated Offaly in the quarter finals on a scoreline of 1-25 to 0-21 and defeated Dublin on a scoreline of 0-23 to 1-16.

⚽Louth Squad Form
