🏆 Armagh v Donegal Prediction

Armagh and Donegal meet in the Ulster Championship final for the second year in a row. Last year’s match between the two sides ended in a draw after both normal time and extra time with Donegal being victorious on penalties. These two sides have met on a number of occasions over the last few years both in the league and championship and they are always closely contested encounters, with this game also expected to be a closely contested match.

It is hard to split these two teams but we believe Donegal will once again edge it. They have beaten Derry and Monaghan, as well as Down, 3 teams who will all play in the All-Ireland phase this year. They are in strong form and the return of Michael Murphy has brought a different edge to Donegal.

✔️ Armagh v Donegal Betting Tips

We'll now share our Armagh vs Donegal betting tips that you might want to use for this Ulster final showdown—especially if you’re planning to put any of your free bets to work.

  • Tip 1: Donegal to Win: Based on quality and form.
  • This match is a difficult one to call due to the quality that both teams have. Both sides are expected to go far in this year's All Ireland Championship and this match will see the 2024 Ulster Champions Donegal take on the 2024 All Ireland Champions Armagh.

    The sides met in two finals last year, the Ulster final and the Division 2 final with Donegal winning both, winning the Ulster final on penalties and the league final by one point. This match could go either way but we expect Donegal to once again win a tight match. This market is available with DirectionBet at odds of 1.74.

  • Tip 2: Donegal Handicap -1: Based on quality.
  • The handicap for this match is a very tight one with DirectionBet offering a -1 handicap for Donegal. When the sides met earlier in the year Donegal were victorious by 8 points but we expect it to be a tighter game this time around, just like it was in the two previously mentioned finals from 2024. The handicap market offers slightly better value on just a Donegal win if you are willing to take the chance. This market is available with DirectionBet at odds of 2.00.

  • Tip 3: Donegal to Win by 1-3 points OR 4-6 points: Based on recent meetings.
  • As mentioned, we expect this match to be a close encounter with Donegal narrowly getting the victory. BoyleSports offer the chance to combine multiple margins of victories. This market is available with BoyleSports at odds of 2.25.
