Gold Coast SUNS vs GWS GIANTS Preview
Gold Coast’s push for a top-four finish comes under serious scrutiny on Saturday afternoon as they welcome GWS to People First Stadium. The Suns kept their hopes alive with a 93-74 triumph over Carlton last week, driven by Matt Rowell’s 30 touches and a six-goal masterclass from Ben King. Stuart Dew’s men have claimed six wins from their past seven outings and hold a dominant 8-1 record on home turf in 2025.
GWS, meanwhile, is fresh off a commanding 133-79 victory over North Melbourne in Canberra, but defeat here could see them slip out of the top eight. History is firmly on the Giants’ side, having won 14 of their past 15 clashes with Gold Coast, including a Round 15 thriller where they erased a 29-point deficit to prevail 106-99. With both sides fighting to secure their September destiny, this shapes as a high-stakes showdown with everything on the line.
