Former Tyrone star Sean Cavanagh has backed Kerry to overcome Dublin in Sunday's All-Ireland final, citing their aerial strength and more balanced unit as key advantages.
Cavanagh, who faced both sides in this year's championship, believes Kerry's forwards are more clinical and better equipped to win their own ball close to goal. He highlighted the aerial threat of Paul Geaney and Kieran Donaghy, as well as Colm Cooper's ability in the air, as potential deciding factors.
He recalled last year's final when an early high ball led to a goal that influenced the game's pattern. While Dublin will have plans to counter this, Cavanagh feels Kerry have more aces in their pack.
Despite expectations of an open game, Cavanagh warned that both teams will employ defensive systems and off-the-ball aggression. He predicted a tight contest likely decided by fine margins, such as a high ball leading to a goal.
