With Leinster champions Dublin and Connacht winners Galway facing off at this stage of the championship, it means at least one of the provincial kingpins will be eliminated before the semi-finals.

The sides have met each other on 10 occasions in the championship, with Dublin winning eight and Galway claiming two victories. The most recent of those Galway wins was in the 1934 All-Ireland final. The sides last met in the championship in 2018.

This will be the sixth championship meeting of Kerry and Derry, with the Kingdom coming out on top in four of the previous five games – including last year’s All-Ireland semi-final. Derry’s only championship win over Kerry was achieved at the semi-final stages in 1958.

Armagh and Roscommon enjoy an even championship split – from their seven previous meetings each county has picked up three wins, while there was also one draw. Donegal and Louth have never met in the championship.
