Kildare v Louth Preview
Kildare’s Form
Kildare entered the 2024 GAA season following a 2023 season which saw them finish 5th in Division 2 with a record of 3 wins and 4 defeats. That was followed by a Leinster Senior Football Championship campaign where they defeated Wicklow in the Quarter-Final 0-10 before being knocked out by Dublin in the Semi-Final 0-12 to 0-14.
In their All-Ireland Championship Group, they finished second to Dublin and ahead of Roscommon and Sligo before they were knocked out in the preliminary Quarter-Final 0-13 to 1-11 against Monaghan.
Kildare have been very disappointing during this Division 2 campaign losing 6 of their 6 matches conceding 104 points and scoring only 70 points. Their relegation to Division 3 has already been confirmed and they’re now playing just for pride and potentially experimenting with tactics and personnel with an eye towards the Championship.
Last weekend they were beaten comfortably 1-08 to 0-17 against Donegal.
Louth’s Form
Louth entered the 2024 GAA season following a brilliant 2023 season which saw them finish third in Division 2 behind Derry and Dublin but ahead of Cork following 4 wins and 3 defeats. In the Leinster Football Championship, they defeated Westmeath 1-11 to 2-10 and Offaly 2-15 to 0-27 to reach the final. However, they were duly dispatched by Dublin in the final 0-15 to 5-21.
In the All-Ireland series, they were eliminated in the Group Stage following defeats from Kerry, Cork and Mayo.
Louth have had a poorer Division 2 campaign when compared with their results from last season, winning 2 games and losing 4 to put them third last in the table after 106 points scored and 89 points conceded. That record means with one round of fixtures left they must avoid defeat in this game to guarantee they won't be relegated to Division 3.
Kildare v Louth Head-To-Head
Both sides played in Round 5 of Division 2 last season with Louth running out 2-11 to 0-12 winners.

Key Players To Watch

The Naomh Máirtín Full-Forward had a brilliant performance last weekend in their 6-17 to 0-11 win against Fermanagh where he scored 2-05. Louth have only scored 4 points less than League Leaders Armagh and Sam Mulroy will be expected to get on the scoresheet Saturday again having scored 4-25 in the league so far.
Kevin Feely
Despite Kildare losing every game of their league campaign so far which has seen their relegation confirmed. Last weekend they had a respectable showing against Cork only losing by a 2-15 to 3-9 scoreline. The former soccer star and Athy GAA player scored 1-6.
Kildare v Louth Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Kildare 1-14 Louth 2-15
Kildare are already relegated to Division 3 for the 2025 league season, but that means they can head into this game with no pressure as they look to build for the Leinster and All-Ireland Championship.
Louth has lost 4 of their last 5 games and surrendered winning positions in 3 of those games. The story could’ve been very different but now they must avoid defeat to guarantee safety.
Louth should do enough with their power scoring but Kildare are dangerous when playing with a free-hit.
Best Bet: Louth -2 @ 6/5
