Brisbane Lions are coming off a win over the Port Adelaide Power. The Brisbane Lions scored 152 points in a road encounter while conceding just 73. However, that win was the Brisbane Lions’ third in consecutive matches, while losing just one of their last seven encounters against the Hawthorn Hawks. In the AFL this season, Brisbane Lions have a 122.08 percentile and have 30 points accumulated from 14 matches, leaving them seated 10th in the standings.
Melbourne Demons
Melbourne Demons will enter this game following a 70-67 win against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. In the meantime, that win was Melbourne Demons’ second in six consecutive games, with the first being a 100-62 win over the St Kilda Saints. However, other matches against the Carlton Blues, West Coast Eagles, Fremantle Dockers, and the Collingwood Magpies ended in defeats. In the AFL this season, Melbourne Demons have 32 points accumulated from 14 matches, positioning them 9th in the standings.
Expert Betting Tips
The Lions areꦏ in hot form, and it is just too tough to bet against them. However, despite their inconsistent play and poor performances, the history of this fixture does not entirely write the Melbourne Demons off. You can make a case that the Brisbane Lions will dominate this encounter, but I do not have that confidence in them despite the odds, and I prefer to take the Melbourne Demons to get within the 35+ margin.
