Sydney has dominated the Lions in recent years having won the last four clashes by an average margin of 52 points.
With the Swans only loss thus far this season coming at the hands of Geelong and Brisbane’s only two wins being a narrow victory over the Gold Coast Suns by 2 points and last week, over the hapless Demons, there’s a good chance of the average margin being maintained here.
The Swans had to travel to NZ to take on St. Kilda last week and had to, much to the pleasure of their coach, “win ugly” in their 79 -63 victory.
In each of their five games this year, the Lions’ opponents have scored a minimum of 94 points. It’s hard to see how they’ll keep the Swans to less than that figure and at the same time, be able to produce the points required to be competitive here.
