Hawthorn Hawks vs GWS Giants Prediction: An offensive contest is expected

The Australian Football League encounter between the Hawthorn Hawks and the GWS Giants at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The two teams are coming off a win and will hope for a similar result. Below, I preview this game and offer predictions.

Hawthorn Hawks

The Hawthorn Hawks will eye another win following a decent performance against the Carlton Blues. In their last weekend game, this team played the Carlton Blues, ending with a 60-80 win. In that encounter, this team won three of the four quarters, with their lone defeat being a 27-20 defeat in quarter 2. In the meantime, the Hawthorn Hawks also opened their season with a win over the Essendon Bombers, extending their winning run to three in a row. Ahead of this contest, the Hawthorn Hawks sit top of the league standings with 12 points from three matches, pulling off a 129.86 percentage.

GWS Giants

The GWS Giants will hope to be at their best once again after a hard fought victory over the Melbourne Demons the previous time out. In a 74-77 contest, the GWS Giants needed a good start to win at full time, as the first two quarters ended in their favour, while also winning the final quarter. However, GWS Giants have now found success in their first two games of the season, defeating the Collingwood Magpies in their opener. Yet, it is important to note that this team entered the new season with four consecutive defeats. Ahead of this game, GWS Giants sit third in the standings with eight points.

Expert Betting Tips

The Hawthorn Hawks have been playing so well since the start of the season, but the Giants have also been impressive. Away from home, the GWS Giants have more to give, having seen how much they struggled in the final matches of the season. However, the Hawthorn Hawks have not had it easy since the beginning of the season, and despite trusting them, I believe the GWS Giants have a better chance of getting within the lines.
