Carlton Blues vs St Kilda Saints Prediction: Expect a very competitive encounter

This Sunday, the Carlton Blues will play St Kilda Saints at Marvel Stadium in round 24 of the AFL. Coming off wins, the two 𒅌teams will hope to be at t𝔍heir best. How will this one end?

The Carlton Blues returned to winning ways the previous weekend against the West Coast Eagles as they won 34-99. In the meantime, prior encounters to that win saw Carlton Blues lose to the Hawthorn Hawks, Collingwood Magpies, and Port Adelaide Power in games that ended 38-112, 84-81, and 65-79. However, season performance has seen the Carlton Blues accumulate 52 points from 22 matches, leaving them the last spot for playoffs. 

The St Kilda Saints keep showing character; the previous weekend against the Geelong Cats, this team secured a 107-89 win. In the meantime, that win was their fourth in their last five matches, the lone defeat against the Brisbane Lions. However, in other games, this team defeated the Essendon Bombers, West Coast Eagles, and the Richmond Tigers. The St Kilda Saints have accumulated 40 points this season from 22 matches, leaving them seated 13th in the AFL.

The St Kilda Saints have been at the top of their game in recent weeks, and I do not expect them to drop their level of play. While Carlton Blues come in as favorites, and at home, their chances are high too, as they will look to return to winning ways after consecutive defeats. However, looking at the two teams, I expect this one to be tight. However, with the Blues being very good the previous week, I expect them to win.
