Adelaide Crows vs Brisbane Lions Preview
A crucial clash for finals hopes as Brisbane Lions take on Adelaide Crows. Both teams haven’t quite lived up to expectations but remain in the top eight hunt.
A loss for either side would be a major setback, while a win keeps them on track. The Lions, coming off a tough win against Gold Coast, face a road challenge against the efficient Crows.
Adelaide excels at quick transitions and capitalising on open scoring opportunities. Brisbane needs to set up defensively and leverage their strength in contested footy.
While the Lions boast a strong forward line, their injuries might be a hurdle. Adelaide’s defensive lapses are still a concern, allowing 23 scoring shots last week.
Despite a potential fight from Brisbane, the Crows’ home ground advantage and efficiency might see them edge out a victory.
