A straight shoot-out for a semi-final place lies in store here as Roscommon and Sligo prepare for a clash at St Croans.
Roscommon are currently second behind Down in the standings on three points, one clear of Sligo who have drawn their two games to date.
Both teams know that a victory will be good enough for a semi-final spot, while defeat for either side could see them end up in a relegation play-off.
In a pool with so many permutations, a win for Louth against Down and a draw in the Roscommon-Sligo tie would leave Down, Roscommon and Louth all level on four points, with scoring difference then coming into play.
