That's the view of Conor Sweeney, who says the Connacht county will be favourites to book a place in next month's Croke Park showpiece.
However, Tipp have beaten fancied Cork, Derry and Galway sides during their run to this weekend's semi-final.
Conor believes it won't be easy to add to that list of scalps.
Colm Boyle is one of the players hoping to get Mayo a step closer to ending their long wait for Sam Maguire.
He says they can't afford to underperform against the Premier County.
Tipp FM will have live commentary on the match, which gets underway at 3.30 on Sunday afternoon. Our coverage will be brought to you in association with John Kennedy Motors, Cashel Road, Clonmel.
