With bookies struggling to split the sides, it would not be a surprise to many GAA fans if this match went down to the wire.
In the case that it does finish level after regular time, the match will go to twenty minutes of extra-time to try to find a winner. But if the match is still level after extra-time, there will be a replay on Saturday 10 August, almost two weeks later.
If the replay is drawn after extra-time, the two teams will square off from 11 metres in a penalty shootout.
So far, the 2024 football Championship has seen no replays. All drawn knockout games have gone straight to extra-time, and then to penalties.
