Adelaide Crows vs St Kilda Saints Prediction: Crows will take advantage of the Saints.

St Kilda Saints will travel to Adelaide Oval to play the Adelaide Crows in round 1 of the Australian Football League. The two teams head into this hoping for a positive start to the season. Which team wins this one? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions. 

Adelaide Crows

The Adelaide Crows will head into this game hoping to secure a win, having failed to make the playoffs last season. In 23 matches played last season, this team had 34 points, leaving them in 15th place with a 99.12 percentile. In the meantime, their preseason contest against the Brisbane Lions ended in a close 94-97 win. Ahead of this game, the Adelaide Crows have won two and lost three of their last five matches. Meanwhile, the Adelaide Crows have won three of their last four games in this contest. 

St Kilda Saints

The St Kilda Saints could not make it to the playoffs last season and will hope things go their way this season. In 23 matches played, this team had only 44 points, leaving them seated in 12th place. Ahead of this game, St Kilda Saints lost their preseason game against the Port Adelaide Power in a 49-93 contest. Ahead of this new season, St Kilda Saints have three wins in their last five matches, coming against Geelong Cats, Richmond Tigers, and Carlton Blues. 

Expert Betting Tips

The Adelaide Crows have dominated this fixture in the past and I expect a similar one. In fact, looking at how poor St Kilda Saints were last time out against the Port Power, I do not see them having a chance, considering how poor they were defensively while their attack looked weak. A high offensive contest and a good margin win for the Adelaide Crows look very solid.
