Dublin take on Westmeath at Croke Park \u2013 after missing out on the Leinster final last year for the first time since 2010 \u2013 and Armagh will be hoping to end a run of three consecutive Ulster final losses as they face Monaghan.<\/p>\n
Ahead of key battles in Dublin and Clones, our tipster Feargal Brennan<\/a> dives into the markets, with four best bets split across the games.<\/p>\n All Ireland betting tips<\/p>\n Sunday 2pm \u2013 Dublin v Westmeath<\/a> Sunday 4:15pm \u2013 Monaghan v Armagh<\/a> *All prices are bang up to date with our snazzy widgets, while odds in copy are accurate at time of publishing but subject to change.<\/p>\n Dublin v Westmeath<\/p>\n WHEN:\u00a0Sunday, May 17th, 2pm Both teams to score a goal: Yes<\/p>\n Dublin are obviously red-hot favourites to become kings of Leinster again and they\u2019ve also edged up Paddy\u2019s list of favourites to claim the Sam Maguire Cup in July.<\/a> Boss Ger Brennan will be absent from the sidelines due his ongoing suspension, but that shouldn\u2019t deter them at Croker and the value lies elsewhere in the markets.<\/p>\n Westmeath have battered their way to a first Leinster final since 2016 and scored multiple goals in each game so far. Five against Longford, four vs. Meath and two put past Kildare in the semis shows their firepower as Dublin average a goal scored and conceded per game so far in the Leinster tournament.<\/p>\n Westmeath Over 20.5 points<\/p>\n A trip to the capital represents Westmeath\u2019s toughest test so far, but they won\u2019t be overawed, and Mark McHugh will be confident his side can cause the Dubs some real problems.<\/p>\n They flagged up a whopping 45 points in a mauling of Longford, 30 against Meath and 27 against Kildare, so getting over 20.5 looks do-able here. Their average could drop \u2013 as Dublin conceded exactly 20 to Wicklow and only 10 to defending Leinster champions Louth \u2013 but Westmeath is the best attack they\u2019ve faced so far.<\/p>\n Monaghan v Armagh<\/p>\n WHEN:\u00a0Sunday, May 17th, 4:15pm Conor Turbitt anytime goalscorer<\/p>\n Moving north and it\u2019s another Ulster showdown for Armagh. Sure, they\u2019ve lost three finals in a row, but each one has been very tight with a single-point loss to Donegal in extra time last year and penalty shootout defeats in 2024 and 2023.<\/p>\n They are strongly fancied to break the cycle and lift the trophy in Clones, and if they do so, Conor Turbitt could hold the key. He scored 1-5 in the quarter-final win over Fermanagh and followed that up with 2-5 in the semi victory against Down.<\/p>\n Armagh Over 20.5 points<\/p>\n Mainly thanks to the boot of Turbitt, Armagh have racked up some eye-catching point totals so far in Ulster this year. 20 against Tyrone in the first round was just a warm up after kicking 38 in Enniskillen and 48 against Down in neutral Clones.<\/p>\n Monaghan have also conceded heavily in both of their games so far with 20 against Cavan and 32 vs. Derry.<\/p>\n All Ireland betting tips<\/p>\n Sunday 2pm \u2013 Dublin v Westmeath<\/a> Sunday 4:15pm \u2013 Monaghan v Armagh<\/a> *All prices are bang up to date with our snazzy widgets, while odds in copy are accurate at time of publishing but subject to change.<\/p>\n READ MORE<\/p>\n Tap here for the latest odds on PP.com<\/a><\/p>\n The Paddy Power Guide To Safer Gambling \u2013 Everything You Need To Know<\/a><\/p>\n
