Sydney vs. GWS Predictions - AFL Round 6 2026

We have Sydney vs. GWS predictions for AFL Round 6 on Friday, April 17 at 7:50pm at the SCG.

The Swans lead the competition, and they’re also riding an 11-0 winning streak as the betting favourite, so GWS is up against it this week.

Best Bet

Sydney –24.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

Sydney recovered from a loss to Hawthorn with back-to-back wins over West Coast and Gold Coast, with last week’s win being an excellent form guide.

The 100-68 victory over the SUNS bodes well for their season, and with GWS losing three of their last four games, momentum is with the Swans. GWS won last week, but they played Richmond, so it’s hard to take much from that performance.

They didn’t look good when losing to the Bulldogs, Saints, and Magpies, and those losses stuck with us. We can’t pick them to cover the +24.5 spread against one of the best teams in the competition, so take the home team to win and cover the spread.

Sydney won their most recent meeting at SCG by 14 points, and they have only improved since then, so snap up the current line.

Same Game Multi

Sydney –24.5, Charlie Curnow 3+ Goals, Isaac Heeney 2+ Goals, Total Points Under 180.5 @ $9.50

Bet Now

Criticism has come for Charlie Curnow after going scoreless last week, despite Sydney winning. He kicked four goals against the Eagles, but critics have short memories, and Curnow should fire back with a big performance. Punters get $1.96 for 3+ goals, which could boost AFL same game multi odds.

Isaac Heeney has been more consistent with 10 goals from his last four games, including a double last week. There is no reason to leave him out of AFL multi picks this week, so include him at $1.61 odds.

Our final score prediction has Sydney winning 95-65, so punters have a few points to work with when it comes to betting on under 180.5 points.

Best Value Bet

Charlie Curnow First Goal Scorer @ $8.50

Bet Now

The best way to silence the critics is by scoring the opening goal, and Curnow could make a big impression on Friday night.

Getting on the board with the first goal would be ideal for Curnow and Sydney, who play their best when they start fast. That’s enough for us to back Curnow to goal the first goal at generous $8.50 odds from bookmakers.
