Big match predictionspublished at 15:55 British Summer Time 6 July
Kilkenny v Tipperary, 16:00 BST
We canvassed the opinion of our big-game experts as to what they are expecting this afternoon.
Jamesie O'Connor (two-time All-Ireland winner with Clare): "I feel Kilkenny are coming in completely under the radar. "Tipp haven't been back in Croke Park since 2019, so they have a number of players without that experience. They have a chance, but I just think Kilkenny may want it that bit more and will have a bit more know-how."
Paul Murphy (four-time All-Ireland winner with Kilkenny): "I'm not sure anyone fancies this game to have more than one or two points in it, so it should be a really good one."
Seamus Flanagan (five-time All-Ireland winner with Limerick): "Tipp-Kilkenny is a clash of different styles. It's going to be a real humdinger of a game."
Neil McManus (former Antrim captain): "This is one for the purists. If Kilkenny can deal with the Tipperary sharpshooters, then they can edge a classic."
