St Kilda Saints vs Gold Coast Suns Match Prediction 25 May 2025

The Gold Coast Suns have been playing on another level this season and a team like St Kilda Saints will find it really hard to take something out of this fixture. While playing at home will give the St Kilda Saints some leverage, the possibility of the home team rising to the task and demand of this game is slow. While the Gold Coast Suns have also had some struggling performances in recent times, I still believe the visiting team is clearly ahead of the unmotivated St Kilda Saints. Therefore, with the better team expected to win, I will back a margin win for the Gold Coast Suns. Also, the defence line of St Kilda Saints have been very woeful this season, and on the other hand, Gold Coast Suns have scored over 100 points in three of their last four encounters. Therefore, a bet on many points. 

Our match prediction is handicap (-6.5) for Gold Coast Suns with odds at 1.67 on 1Xbet bookmaker.
