Tonight’s match between St Kilda and Fremantle starts Round 4 of the AFL home and away season. The game is being played at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne with the opening bounce commencing at 7:50pm local time. Last time these two teams met St Kilda won by fourty one points in Round 20 last year at Etihad Stadium.

St Kilda will be looking to continue their good form into tonights game with an impressive sixty three point win over Western Bulldogs last weekend. Ross Lyon will be facing his old team for the first time since he quit to take the Fremantle job in September last year.

Fremantle Dockers are coming off a good twenty nine point win over Brisbane last week and will be looking to make it three wins from four games tonight. Hayden Ballentine returns tonight after serving his suspension but the Dockers will be without Kepler Bradley and Josh Mellington.

It looks to be a good match on paper but the Saints go into the match as the clear favourites. Saint Kilda are usually very strong at home but can often have an off match which if the case Fremantle will go very close and this will depend on Nick Riewoldt’s performance.

WHERE AND WHEN: Etihad Stadium, Friday April 20, 7.50pm
LAST TIME: St Kilda 16.17 (113) d Fremantle 10.12 (72), round 20, 2011 at Etihad Stadium

Tip: St Kilda by 18 points
