Selection: 1.5pt Under 1.5 goals Mayo vs Cavan at 5/4 (Boylesports)
Both teams come into this game on the back of defeats and it was the manner of these losses which will concern followers of both teams. Mayo were quite simply abysmal against Dublin, and showed signs of widespread panic once Dublin got their goal. That was quite surprising considering they are such an experienced team and they will be looking to today's game to right some of those wrongs. Cavan in the first half of their game against Tyrone were excellent but they never turned up for the second 35mins and only troubled the scoreboard on one occasion in the second period.

After four games played both teams have only scored the one goal each so it's fair to say they are struggling to create goal scoring opportunities. Mayo's goal came from a penalty against Roscommon while Gearoid McKiernan bagged a goal for Cavan against Tyrone. I'm sure Cavan will look to place McKiernan at full forward during spells of the game to test Mayo's so called vulnerability under the high ball. However, 2016 All Star Brendan Harrison returns for Mayo and he should match up well against McKiernan. Both teams will be desperate to keep clean sheets and don't be surprised if Mayo revert back to using a sweeper again. We like the 5/4 Boylesports are offering on under 1.5 goals considering the troubles both sets of forwards are having.
