St Kilda vs. Hawthorn Predictions

Best Bet

Hawthorn -18.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

We expected the line to be around -28.5, so we’re snapping up the line whilst it’s available. The Hawks come off a 150-65 win over North Melbourne, and with the way St Kilda folded in the fourth quarter last week, we can’t back them.

They had a great chance to beat Fremantle, posting a 14-point lead in the last quarter. However, they allowed the Dockers to score four goals in three minutes, and that level of play won’t cut it against a ruthless Hawks outfit.

We still think the Hawks are a top contender for the title, and despite a tough middle patch, they bounced back with three quality wins, and they’re now starting to put everything together They should clear out for a comfortable road win.

Same Game Multi

Hawthorn -18.5, Jack Gunston 3+ Goals, Mabior Chol 2+ Goals, Total Match Points Under 167.5 @ $13.25

Bet Now

We have under 167.5 points in our AFL same game multi tips. They scored only 111 points in their most recent meeting in 2024, and we expect St Kilda to struggle to score points, having scored 69 last week and 74 two weeks ago.

Most of the points should come from the Hawks, who have Jack Gunston and Mabior Chol spearheading the attack. Gunston has been electric, scoring seven goals last week, making it 12 goals from his last four games.

Punters get $2.35 for Gunston to score 3+ goals, and he should have another big outing. Chol should also dominate after scoring five last week, and the duo could reveal against the Saints. Chol is a $1.64 chance to score a double, so take the odds.

Best Value Bet

Jack Gunston First Goal Scorer @ $9.00

Bet Now

Gunston is the key to success for a young Hawks side, and given the way he’s playing, he could get the game off to a fast start.

He’s deadly accurate with his set shots, and if the Hawks can navigate a tough St Kilda midfield, he should get an opportunity for an inside 50 conversion.
