The Faithful face the Premier for the first time since 2014.
Offaly will have the freedom to express themselves against Tipperary according to Midlands 103's Joe Troy.
The Faithful welcome the Premier County to Glenisk O'Connor Park this Saturday in the preliminary quarter final of the All Ireland Hurling Championship.
It will be Johnny Kelly's side's first competitive outing since their extra-time defeat to Carlow in the Joe McDonagh Final at the end of May.
The winners will be rewarded with the task of facing Leinster finalists Galway in the quarter finals.
Troy says that the pressure won't be on Offaly, but it could be a tough afternoon for them:
