Collingwood Magpies vs Sydney Swans Prediction: League leaders Magpies will not slip

In the eighth round of Australian Football League fixtures, the Collingwood Magpies will face off against the Sydney Swans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Collingwood Magpies - on the right track

After eking out a narrow victory against Adelaide Crows on the road, the Collingwood Magpies will enter this showdown with the intention of carrying their good run into this contest. Even though they are currently in first place in the AFL standings, the Collingwood Magpies cannot afford to take a loss here because the Melbourne Demons, their most direct competition, are also performing very well. Since the beginning of this league season, the Collingwood Magpies have only one loss to their name, while they have seven victories to their credit.

Sydney Swans - hoping for luck this time

The Sydney Swans' losing streak resumed the previous Saturday when they competed against the GWS Giants in a game that ended 106-107. Despite having started the season with three wins in a row, the away team will find this to be an extremely challenging competition due to the fact that they have only one victory in their most recent five matches. The Sydney Swans are currently ranked 11th in the AFL standings, and their point total of 12 is tied for 12th place with the Gold Coast Suns and the GWS Giants.

Expert Betting Tips

This season, the home side have been playing quite well, and we have every reason to believe that they will keep up their great form when they take on the away team here. However, despite the fact that Sydney Swans were unlucky in their previous matchup with Giants, we anticipate them having better luck this time around, which should allow them to avoid giving up a large number of points.
