St Kilda vs. Brisbane Predictions
—
Best Bet
Brisbane 1-39 @ $2.15
Looking to bounce back from a heavy loss to Collingwood is Brisbane, and we’re backing it to prevail over the struggling Saints.
St Kilda looked good earlier this season before losing to GWS and Western Bulldogs, and although it faces a Brisbane team reeling after a 105-53 loss, the Lions should feel confident about their chances of getting back to form.
Brisbane has an excellent recent record over St Kilda, having won the last three meetings, including a 124-39 road win last year. That was a smashing, and although we’re picking Brisbane to win, it should come within the 1-39-point range.
Punters get $2.15 odds, and it’s a safer option than taking Brisbane –14.5 with AFL spread odds.
Same Game Multi
Brisbane H2H, Eric Hipwood 2+ Goals, Logan Morris 2+ Goals, Jack Higgins 2+ Goals, Total Match Points Over 183.5 @ $7.25
Despite scoring a low total last week, Brisbane should bounce back with a big scoring effort against St Kilda, and it could finish in the 100-88 region.
We’re taking the short odds for Brisbane to win, and over 183.5 points is also worth including in St Kilda vs. Brisbane same game multi picks. Including the over boosts payouts, as our goal scorer options are paying short odds.
Eric Hipwood, Logan Morris, and Jack Higgins are paying $1.51, $1.81, and $1.49 respectively. Hipwood scored twice last week, and although Morris didn’t, he scored 10 goals in his previous four games, so he’s more than capable.
Higgins has 15 goals from his last five games, so he averaged three goals per game during that span, and we’re confident he’ll have two on Saturday. Punters could include Higgins 3+ goals at $2.50 for more value, but it comes with risk, so same game multis should take the safer route.
Best Value Bet
Quarter by Quarter Leader – St Kilda, Brisbane, Brisbane, Brisbane @ $9.50
It’s not our standard value bet, but we can’t turn down the $9.50 odds for St Kilda to lead after the first quarter but Brisbane to lead at every other quarter.
We expect the Saints to come out with plenty of enthusiasm, but the class of the Lions should soon take over. We’re hoping for a close first quarter lead for St Kilda, and then Brisbane can take control and hold on.
