Sydney Swans vs Brisbane Lions Preview
The Lions are set to start slight outsiders, which does play into their hands given they own a perfect 6-0 record at the line as the away underdog over the last 12 months.
That said, Brisbane has struggled to cover in this spot against the Swans, sporting a 2-5 record.
One could argue the Lions may have played their Grand Final last week, but whether their recent stretch of games against Carlton, GWS, and Geelong proves the difference remains to be seen.
In terms of experience, both sides match up quite evenly, particularly down back.
Harris Andrew and Dane Rampe are the lynchpins of their respective back lines, but I do think Brandon Starcevich and Ryan Lester could prove the difference for the Lions after causing the Cats headaches last week.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Brisbane Lions to win at $2.10 odds.
