Brisbane are in awesome form and history says this will be another dominant win.
Best Bet
Brisbane Lions -18.5 ($1.90)
This has been anything but a rivalry in recent times. It’s been a slaughter.
Brisbane have won 8 of the last 9 against the Suns. They’ve covered the line in the last five. The average margin in those five matches has been 49 points.
The Lions are a frightening prospect in Queensland. Since the start of 2021, they’ve won 14 of 17 games also by an average of 49 points. This has included big wins over Essendon (57 pts), Port (49 pts), GWS (64 pts), Geelong (44 pts), Gold Coast (44 & 73 pts), Collingwood (85 pts) and North Melbourne (108 pts).
Credit to Stuart Dew and Gold Coast for their much-improved start to 2022. Touk Miller and Noah Anderson have been brilliant in the midfield and their defence has held up well.
Brisbane’s dominant record cannot be ignored, however, and until the Suns prove they can get anywhere close to their crosstown rivals, the Lions have to be the bet.
Same Game Multi
Brisbane -18.5 / Over 165.5 pts / J.Daniher 3+ goals / C.Cameron 2+ goals ($6.25)
The over has hit in the last five Q-clashes.
Joe Daniher has been in remarkable form, kicking 3+ in each of his last three games, while Charlie Cameron has kicked 2+ in three of his last four.
Value Bets
Brisbane Lions 40+ ($3.50)
This looks one of the best value bets of the round. The Lions have won by 40+ points in each of their last five against the Suns. We’ll be having a nibble at 60+ at $8.00 too.
