Brisbane Lions vs Richmond Tigers Prediction: Lions to end Tigers streak

The matchup for round 16 of the Australian Football League (AFL) will take place between the Brisbane Lions and the Richmond Tigers at the Gabba in Brisbane.

Brisbane Lions - favorites at home

The Brisbane Lions battled to an 84-56 win over the St Kilda Saints last week as they made it two wins in a row, with this seeing the Lions move up to third on the ladder. When the Adelaide Crows and the Hawthorn Hawks defeated the Lions, their seven-game winning streak came to an end. The Lions have made a resounding comeback, and they now have a two-game winning streak after defeating the Sydney Swans and the St. Kilda Saints. Concerns were raised about the team and whether or not they would be able to maintain their success. The Lions are aware that they will have a difficult time competing against a team that has won three in a row, particularly because their next opponent, Richmond, has a history of playing poorly. The Lions, on the other hand, have a perfect record at home in the AFL this season, so they should feel confident going into this match. The good news for a Lions team that has been performing well despite Dayne Zorko's absence is that he is about to make his return from a calf ailment that has kept him out for a number of weeks. The issue has kept him out of action.

Richmond Tigers - on a decent run

The Richmond Tigers have been in terrific form as of late, and they come into this game on the heels of a victory against St. Kilda that took place over a week ago. As a result of this victory, they come into this game enjoying a three-game winning streak. The Richmond Tigers have had a lot of trouble maintaining a high level of performance throughout this season, but they are displaying some very encouraging signs of progress after winning their most recent three matches in a row by defeating the GWS Giants, Fremantle Dockers, and St. Kilda Saints. However, with three losses in their previous six away games, there is reason to believe that they will struggle in this matchup, especially against a Lions team that has turned their house into a stronghold thus far this season. Even though they have an impressive history against their hosts, it is difficult to imagine them pulling off the upset, despite the fact that it would be a significant statement if they were to win here. A calf injury has sidelined Richmond's Dion Prestia, but there is some good news in that Jacob Hooper is expected to return from his own calf injury, which has forced him to sit out for the past six weeks of game action.

Expert Betting Tips

In their most recent matchup, the Lions defeated Richmond by a razor-thin margin of 106-104, putting a stop to the Tigers' winning streak of two games in a row. The Lions have three victories in their most recent ten matches, while the Tigers have seven victories in their most recent ten. It is my prediction that the Lions will emerge victorious from this contest and extend their current winning streak to three games. Even though I anticipate that they will not completely dominate their opponent, I am confident that they will win with ease.
