Laois’ Form

Laois earned their spot in this Division 4 League Final by finishing in top spot in the round-robin phase of the competition. They won 6 of their 7 league games. Interestingly, their only loss of the campaign came against their opposition this Saturday evening who beat them by a point 2 weeks ago.

The most recent outing for Laois came against Waterford who they trashed 5-19 to 0-09. While the heavy scoring for the O’Moore County will give them confidence going into this game, they will also realise that Leitrim will be a step up in class from playing the bottom-ranked team in the nation last weekend.

Leitrim’s Form

Leitrim finished 2nd in the round-robin phase of Division 4 of the National League to book their spot in this decider. They finished the league with 10 points after winning 5 of their 7 matches.

Those 2 losses came against Carlow (2-14 to 1-16) and Longford (1-16 to 0-13). As mentioned earlier, Andy Moran’s side did narrowly beat Laois earlier in this competition on a scoreline of 1-13 to 0-17. That result will mean there’s no lack of belief in the Leitrim dressing room ahead of this game despite their underdog status.

Laois v Leitrim Prediction

Prediction: Laois 1-14 Leitrim 0-15

From what we’ve seen in this league campaign, Laois are the better team. They were the highest scorers in Division 4, averaging 3+ points per game more than Leitrim.

Laois also had the best defence in the division with only an average of 11.3 points per game allowed to opponents.

With all that said, the last time we saw Laois in headquarters they conceded 8-16 to Down in last year’s Tailteann Cup Semi-Finals. That humiliating defeat will be on the mind of this panel as they return to Croke Park on Saturday evening. Combine that with their loss at home to Leitrim only 2 weeks ago and it makes me lean to Leitrim in the handicap betting.

I think Laois will win but Leitrim to keep it close in this year’s Division 4 decider is my preferred bet.

Best Bet: Leitrim +4 @ Evens
