St Kilda Saints vs Sydney Swans Anzac day 2013 AFL preview and tips

The Saints take a home game to New Zealand and will be hoping to turn their poor form around.

The task will not be an easy one given they take on last year’s Premiers Sydney and do so without Stephen Milne (banned) and Beau Maister (injured).

The Saints only win this season has come over the struggling GWS and they have lost to Gold Coast, Richmond and last week, to Essendon by 37 points.

Sydney, who were gifted a good start to the season with comfortable wins over GWS and GC Suns, suffered their first loss of the season last week when hosting Geelong at the SCG.

They led early before succumbing to the Cats by 21 points.

They are currently fourth in the competition when it comes to Goals and should have too many guns for the St. Kilda.

Tip: SWANS -32.5 @ $2.10
