Gold Coast vs. St Kilda Predictions

We have Gold Coast vs. St Kilda predictions for AFL Round 9 on Saturday, May 9 at 7:10pm at TIO Stadium.

The SUNS are favourites to score a home win against the St Kilda, and the money could be spot on.

Best Bet

Gold Coast –18.5 @ $1.90

Gold Coast hasn’t been an easy team to follow in 2026, but after posting two wins from their last three games, now could be the time to bet on them.

They scored a win over Essendon in a tight contest before losing to Hawthorn, but they responded with a 20-point win over GWS, and that should get their confidence levels to where they need to be against St Kilda.

The Saints have played well recently with wins over West Coast and Carlton, but the level of opposition wasn’t strong, and they could come crashing down to earth on Saturday night against a team that only needs to kick well to win.

Our AFL tips have Gold Coast winning and covering the –18.5 spread.

Same Game Multi

Gold Coast –18.5, Ben Long 2+ Goals, Ben King 3+ Goals, Total Points Over 192.5 @ $8.00

Bet Now

Ben Long and Ben King are always worth including in AFL SGM bets. Long had a tough time last week, but that followed seven goals in a three-game span, and he could get back to that form. Punters get $1.90 for Long to score 2+ goals.

It’s not often a player is paying only $1.52 to kick 3+ goals, but King is a quality scorer, and he should have a field day against St Kilda. We have him kicking 4-5 goals, which would add to his impressive tally.

We predict a high-scoring game, and although the 192.5-point line is high, Gold Coast could score close to 120 points, so the over should cash for punters.

Best Value Bet

Gold Coast 40+ @ $3.05

Bet Now

Gold Coast is due for a big win, and with their last two wins decided by 20 points or less, they could pile on the pressure against the Saints.

St Kilda has done well to beat easy teams, but they lost their last tough game against Adelaide, and if Gold Coast converts its opportunities in front of goal, it could be a long night.

The $3.05 odds for a 40+ win to Gold Coast are worth taking as a value bet.
