Allianz Football League Division 2
Derry v Meath
Owenbeg
Saturday, February 18, 2023 - 5pm
Derry continue their Allianz Football League Division 2 campaign against Meath in Owenbeg this Saturday with promotion a real possibility if Rory Gallagher's side maintain their winning streak.
A 12-point home victory over Limerick and a narrow away triumph over Louth have put Derry on top of the league table heading into their third encounter against a Meath outfit who are also unbeaten in their first two fixtures.
The Royal County, under the stewardship of two-time All Ireland winner Colm O'Rourke, had an impressive display against Cork in Páirc Uí Chaoimh - winning by four points in their first league outing before they saw off Clare in round two.
This weekend's match-up promises to be a keenly contested 70 minutes with both counties knowing a win would keep them in touch with league favourites Dublin - who are also two wins out of two.
Gallagher will be keen for key forwards Shane McGuigan and goal hero in Louth, Niall Toner, to continue their good form in front of the posts as the Oak Leaf County target Division 1 football in 2024.
Following the Meath clash, Derry travel to Kildare (February 26) before they host the Dubs on Saturday, March 4 which will be shown live on RTÉ.
This Saturday's game will be shown live on RTÉ 2 and GAAGO. Throw-in is at 5pm.
Odds
Derry - 2/7
Draw - 8/1
Meath - 10/3
