Sunday\u2019s showdown sees Limerick back in the final for the first time since 2023, where they won a fourth consecutive All-Ireland crown against Kilkenny, and Galway return to the biggest stage for the first time in nine years.<\/p>\n
Ahead of the final, Paddy Power tipster Feargal Brennan<\/a> dives into the markets, with three picks for Sunday\u2019s battle.<\/p>\n All-Ireland betting tips<\/p>\n Sunday 3:30pm \u2013 Limerick v Galway<\/a> Limerick v Galway<\/p>\n WHEN:\u00a0Sunday, July 19th, 3:30pm #Whatoddspaddy \u2013 4+ match goals and Limerick to win<\/p>\n Both sides have impressed on route to this final meeting as Galway hammered Dublin in June\u2019s Leinster final and Limerick beat old foes Cork by a single point in Munster. That meant a path straight to the semis, as Galway beat Cork by 11 points, and Limerick managed to edge out a two-pointier against Clare.<\/p>\n Despite Galway winning by bigger margins in recent games, the grit Limerick have shown is crucial, alongside their experience in the biggest matches. They\u2019ve contested five of the last eight All-Ireland finals, and won them all, with no defeat in this game since 2007.<\/p>\n Galway\u2019s potent attack will cause problems, and the goals should fly, with the Tribesmen netting two against Cork. They scored 15 in six Leinster games, including four in the final win over Dublin, and Limerick are averaging just over two goals scored per game so far in the championship.<\/p>\n #Whatoddspaddy \u2013 Aidan O\u2019Connor OR Gearoid Hegarty first goalscorer<\/p>\n As we head into Sunday\u2019s final, there\u2019s two names to keep an eye out for in Limerick\u2019s forward line, after the semi victory over Clare. Aidan O\u2019Connor scored 1-9 in that game bringing him up to 4-48 (60) for 2026 competition so far.<\/p>\n Gearoid Hegarty bagged Limerick\u2019s only goal in the Munster win over Clare and he\u2019s always a threat. He also has an aura on All Ireland final day with three goals split across his last three All Ireland finals.<\/p>\n RTE Man of the Match \u2013 Gearoid Hegarty<\/p>\n Hegarty is so often the man for the big occasion and he was RTE\u2019s Man of the Match against Clare last time out. He also won the MVP in Limerick\u2019s 2020 and 2022 final wins over Waterford and Kilkenny respectively and he\u2019s at an eye-catching price to do it again on Sunday.<\/p>\n All-Ireland betting tips<\/p>\n Sunday 3:30pm \u2013 Limerick v Galway<\/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
