Gold Coast Suns vs Melbourne Demons Prediction: A tight scoreline is expected

In round 23 of the Australian Footba♔ll League, Gold Coast Suns are scheduled to face the Melbourne Demons at the People First Stadium. The Suns are favorites in this game, while the Demons have won all of the last meetings between these sides. How෴ will this game unfold?

Gold Coast Suns

The Gold Coast Suns ended a poor run of performance last weekend against the Essendon Bombers. In that game, they won by just one point in a game that ended 86-87, indicating there is still a lot of room for improvement if they want to continue winning. However, the home team's prior encounters to that win saw them lose to the GWS Giants, Brisbane Lions, and West Coast Eagles. However, the Gold Coast Suns home record reads seven wins and one defeat, defeating the Port Adelaide Power, Collingwood Magpies, and the Geelong Cats in that run. Gold Coast Suns have 40 points in 21 matches this season and are seated 12th in AFL.

Melbourne Demons

Melbourne Demons have performed below expectations this season, and they have consistently shown that they have nothing to give. Last weekend against the Port Adelaide Power in a home game, this team lost by 2 points in a 51-53 encounter. However, the Melbourne Demons had also lost to the Fremantle Dockers, GWS Giants, and Western Bulldogs in prior encounters. While Melbourne Demons have won the last 11 matches of this fixture dating to the beginning of 2015, this team will hope they can be at their best and repeat history. 

Expert Betting Tips

This is really another tough one for the Melbourne Demons as they continue to struggle every week. While the two teams seem not to be in form, I feel the past record of this game might be a huge decider here, even though the Suns are home favorites. Last weekend, the Melbourne Demons were brilliant in getting the Port Adelaide Power within lines despite the huge odds, and against a side they have dominated in the past, I expect a win for them in this fixture.
