St. Kilda Saints vs Brisbane Lions Prediction: Lions remain undefeated

St. Kilda Saints will welcome Brisbane Lions to Marvel Stadium in this round 21 AFL encounter. Off to this highly anticipated game, the two teams have been at the top level in recent weeks. Which team will keep things rolling as they both come in with win records?

St. Kilda Saints

The St. Kilda Saints ran riot in their last weekend encounter against the Essendon Bombers, securing a 108-55 win at home. However, while this match will be the St. Kilda Saints’ third home match in a row, they will look to get a winning result, having won the last two in this venue. In fact, their last five games on home ground have ended in just one defeat, coming against Port Adelaide Power, while defeating Gold Coast Suns, Sydney Swans, and West Coast Eagles in other encounters.

In their last six league games overall, the St. Kilda Saints have a 3-3 record. This team has 32 points accumulated from 19 matches, leaving them seated 14th in the standings.

Brisbane Lions

The Brisbane Lions are the best side in the AFL right now, and they have done well in moving as close as second in the league. In their last weekend game against Gold Coast Suns, the Brisbane Lions were dominant, winning by 28 margin, a game that ended 65-93 on the road. 

However, the Brisbane Lions have now won eight consecutive league games. In that run, this team defeated Western Bulldogs, St. Kilda Saints, Port Adelaide Power, Melbourne Demons, Adelaide Crows, West Coast Eagles, and the Sydney Swans. In fact, Brisbane Lions last suffered a defeat in a league game in late May, coming against Hawthorn Hawks. 

Expert Betting Tips

The Brisbane Lions remain undeniable favorites, looking at their run of games, the teams they have easily dispatched, and the fact they have remained undefeated in this fixture since 2022. The St. Kilda Saints, on the other hand, are not consistent, and it is difficult to bank on them despite being at home. You can make a case here, but I feel the Brisbane Lions are not ready to lose yet, and I am backing them with confidence in this game.
