Ulster SFC semi-final Fermanagh v Monaghan, Omagh, 2.0pm, RTÉ2, BBC2NI Referee:

-

Conor Lane (Cork) The suspicion is that RTÉ singled out this fixture for live coverage after figuring that Tyrone/Armagh would be taking to the field.

The actual line-up should serve as a reminder that Ulster should never be taken for granted, but we will break that rule immediatel­y by predicting that this one will play out as it says on tin.

Fermanagh will put up the defensive cordon which has served them so well all season and which, for the second time this year, saw Armagh manage a paltry 0-7 last time out.

Monaghan will struggle for long periods to break them down, but they should pull away in the final quarter.

Verdict: Monaghan
