BBC Sport NI punditQuote MessageIf Fermanagh can start really well and put Donegal on the back foot, then I think the Ernemen will have a great chance. I can see Donegal possibly being a little slow out of the blocks as well, which might help Fermanagh’s chances.

Fermanagh fancy an upset!published at 13:30 British Summer Time 12 June 2016
Despite being favourites, Donegal go into the game after five competitive defeats – although their last game was the comprehensive Football League semi-final defeat by Dublin nine weeks ago.
Donegal started the Football League with three straight wins but have not won since beating Mayo in Ballybofey on 28 February.
Since then, Donegal’s displays have been sluggish and there are many pundits who feel this young and energetic side Fermanagh side might have their number today.
Others feel Donegal’s greater physique on the tight MacCumhaill Park pitch will prove the difference. But surely we will finally get a competitive contest in Ulster this year.
