Collingwood Magpies
The Collingwood Magpies have failed to meet expectations this season, and a finals position is getting increasingly unlikely week after week. The previous Saturday, this team lost by three points to the Sydney Swans, 89-86. However, prior to that game, the Collingwood Magpies defeated the Richmond Tigers 93-67 and the Carlton Blues 84-81. Collingwood Magpies have 44 points from 21 matches this season, ranking 11th in the league standings.
Brisbane Lions
The Brisbane Lions suffered their first setback since May, losing 100-75 to the Hawthorn Hawks. Meanwhile, the Brisbane Lions lost 64-82 at home to the GWS Giants last Saturday, owing to a dismal fourth-quarter performance after a 31-1 lead in the first quarter. During their winning streak, the Brisbane Lions defeated nine different teams, including the Melbourne Demons, Gold Coast Suns, Port Adelaide Power, and Adelaide Crows.
Expert Betting Tips
The Collingwood Magpies dominated the last two meetings between these two teams. However, the Brisbane Lions have been by far the stronger team this season, and we should be prepared for any outcome in this game. The Brisbane Lions had a lot to prove on the road after a devastating loss to the GWS Giants the previous weekend. Nonetheless, I believe the Collingwood Magpies, despite their inconsistent and unimpressive play, will demonstrate a different character against a team like the Brisbane Lions and do well to cut the gap.
