James Horan has made his prediction for one of the toughest games to call

James Horan is tipping Mayo to edge Dublin in this Sunday's All-Ireland football semi-final.

The former Mayo manager joined Off The Ball and ex-Mayo star David Brady on tonight's show to preview the game and made his prediction.

"This is probably one of the hardest games ever to call. I think it's going to be very tight with 5-6 minutes to go. I just think Mayo are very balanced all over the field," he said.

"They just want to get better and better. They've shown that this year. They've built on last year and with the new management team in there, they just look ready for a big performance and I think we'll get a two or three point win at the weekend." 

 

David also discussed the upcoming tribute to Mayo minor footballer Darragh Doherty who lost his life in a car accident: 

 

But David Brady was more cautious in his prediction and also feels Mayo's best chance is to be cautious when it comes to going toe to toe with the Dubs.

"I think this game is going to be decided at half-time. If Mayo can go in within one point up or down, Mayo will win the game. That's a guarantee. But if they're three or four points down, I don't think they'll come back," he added.
