Down's performance in the Ulster SFC depend on the form of Benny Coulter.
If Coulter plays well then it's difficult for any team to deny them victory.
They have showed, during their NFL campaign, that they have other quality performers in Eoin McCartan and Ambrose Rogers.
Cavan are missing most of their backbone through suspension and injury, most notably full-back Darren Rabbitte and captain Anthony Forde. Such absences will not be easily overcome.
Down should come through this encounter with three or four points to spare. Verdict: Down
