Colm O'Rourke's All-Ireland SFC quarter-final predictions

Derry v Clare - Saturday, 3.45pm at Croke Park Derry are the form team after recording big wins over Tyrone, Monaghan and Donegal in the Ulster Championship.

They are very structured under Rory Gallagher.

Clare manager Colm Collins isn't the sort to go around taking bites out of stone walls either.

They had a great win over Roscommon at Croke Park last time out.

Clare are fit and motivated, but Derry have been operating at a higher level in the league and they beat Clare on a 2-13 to 0-10 scoreline in a previous league match.

All known form points to a Derry victory.

Dublin v Cork, Saturday, 6pm at Croke Park

The most lopsided of the quarter-finals, this year Dublin seem to think they should have their matches over by half-time.

There's no doubt Cork have improved under John Cleary. They put up a great struggle for much of the game against Kerry, and against Limerick they fought hard for a tight win.

Even though both teams will be operating in Division 2 next year, Dublin are a ruthless bunch and they'll be eyeing that semi-final place.

Galway were a bit similar, with their gung-ho wins, but they had a very structured defensive pattern in place in their Connacht final win over Roscommon.
