It was a last gasp escape last time around for Monaghan as they survived in division one.
This time around something similar will be required. Monaghan have collected just two points from their opening four division one games.
Monaghan need something from this game if they are to stay-up. The two remaining games see Monaghan go to Kildare and then host the Dubs.
The Dubs may be relegated already by the time they travel to Clones.
Donegal for their part have been hit and miss so far in the Allianz league. Hammered by Kerry a draw with Mayo and a victory over Kildare looked like standard fair.
The last time out Tyrone were put to the sword. The all-Ireland champions going down by four points.
Declan Bonner’s side can capture a result from the jaws of defeat in Ballybofey. Don’t expect a Monaghan victory here.
