Form Guide
After their one point defeat to Galway in the Connacht SFC, Mayo went head to head with Monaghan in the first round of the qualifiers. James Horan's side emerged as 1-13 to 0-12 winners to set up a second round clash against Kildare in Croke Park. Mayo won 2-13 to 0-14 but it wasn't until Jordan Flynn's goal in the fifth minute of injury time that the scoreline looked comfortable in favour of the Connacht side.
Lee Keegan and Oisin Mullin have been an integral part of the Mayo full back line both defensively and offensively. The pair combined for 1-2 in the win over the Lilywhites and their versatility and ability on either side of the pitch is a big plus for Mayo.
Kerry haven't played in over three weeks where they hammered Limerick in the Munster SFC final. Jack O'Connor's side ended up winning 1-28 to 0-8 points.
One man who is in tremendous form of late for the Kingdom is Seán O'Shea who has scored an impressive 0-16 in his last two games.
The sides last met in the National League back in April with Kerry cruising past Mayo in a 3-19 to 0-13 win, with David Clifford scoring 1-6 during the game.

Kerry haven't lifted the Sam Maguire in eight years, while we all know about Mayo's drought for All-Ireland glory which has seem them fall short in the final on 11 occassions, most recently last year's defeat to Tyrone.
