Geelong Cats vs Melbourne Demons Prediction: Will Cats step up to their fears?

The Geelong Cats and the Melbourne Demons play their Round 15 Australian Football League game at GMHBA Stadium. The reigning champion Geelong Cats entered this matchup after a disappointing 110-72 loss at the hands of the Port Adelaide Power in their last outing. The Melbourne Demons have won back-to-back games after a thrilling 66-62 victory over the Collingwood Magpies.

Geelong Cats - Cats troubles continue

The Geelong Cats have been an enormous letdown this season, with their home and away seasons culminating in the defending premiership team losing more games (seven) than they have won (six). They won five matches between the beginning of April and the beginning of May, which gave the impression that they were trending toward the kind of form that led them to the Premiership in 2022. Despite this, they went on to suffer consecutive losses against the Richmond Tigers, Fremantle Dockers, and GWS Giants, all of whom they had previously defeated. A victory over the Western Bulldogs at the beginning of June was immediately followed by a resounding defeat at the hands of the Power during the past weekend. The score was 110-72. Due to a problem with his ribs and lungs, it is possible that the Cats may be without Patrick Dangerfield for some time, but it is also possible that a number of players will return. There is a possibility that Rhys Stanley will replace Jon Ceglar, while Tanner Bruhn and Oisin Mullin are other candidates for the position.

Melbourne Demons - Demons have to keep their performance up

The Melbourne Demons have had a strong season thus far, and they are presently in third place on the leaderboard. However, they are still 12 points behind the Port Adelaide Power, who are in first place. They had a two-game losing streak against the Port Adelaide Power and the Fremantle Dockers, which threatened to ruin their campaign, but since then, they have won against the Carlton Blues and the Collingwood Magpies to get back on track with their winning ways. Clayton Oliver is fighting for his fitness to be declared for this match, and Harrison Petty and Jake Bowey are also in the running to be on the sidelines for this contest. When these two teams faced each other for the final time in 2022, the Cats were able to pull off a victory against the Demons by a score of 91-63.

Expert Betting Tips

In what is anticipated to be a match that is rather close throughout, I will put my money on the Melbourne Demons to come out on top and hand the Geelong Cats their fourth consecutive loss. I anticipate that this contest will be competitive, but I also anticipate that the runs will go over, with the Cats scoring sixty or more.
