Hawthorn Hawks vs Brisbane Lions Prediction: Hawks to cover the spread here

Hawthorn Hawks and B❀risbane Lions will square it off at Marvel Stadium in an AFL round 11 encounter. Let's look into this game and make a pick. 

Hawthorn Hawks will come into this game following an 80-79 defeat at the hands of Port Adelaide Power. However, that defeat was Hawthorn Hawks' second in their last five games, with one other encounter against Sydney Swans. However, their encounters against North Melbourne Kangaroos, Western Bulldogs, and St. Kilda Saints ended in wins. However, this season, Hawthorn Hawks have accumulated 12 points from 10 matches, positioning them 15th in the standings. 

Brisbane Lions are beginning to show character after a slow and poor start to the season. In their last games, Brisbane Lions have not lost a single game, drawing Adelaide Crows while defeating Gold Coast Suns and Richmond Tigers. However, prior games to those matches saw Brisbane Lions lose to Geelong Cats and GWS Giants. This season, Brisbane Lions have accumulated 18 points from 10 matches, positioning them 12th in the standings. 

Hawthorn Hawks have not been so bad lately, and they will come here hoping for some positivity. On the other hand, the Brisbane Lions' level of play has improved a lot in recent weeks, but they are not at that level to win big in matches. This should b♋e a close game, but I expect the hosts to get wi❀thin the margin.
