Gold Coast H2H
Head-to-Head

Punters are having a tough time splitting these teams but the Suns’ outstanding Darwin record gives them the edge.

Gold Coast have been dominant at TIO Stadium over the past three years, winning six in a row, covering the line each time and averaging a winning margin of 50 points.

They were 3.5-point underdogs against Geelong in their last game at the venue and went on to score 161 points – the most the Cats have conceded in over 30 years.

The Bulldogs have battled well through a heavy injury toll in 2025 and will again be without Adam Treloar, but there are no major knocks on their form.

The Suns have made four changes, bringing in speed and polish through Long, Rosas, Clohesy and Fiorini, who has been in unbelievable form in the magoos.

Gold Coast have clearly adapted to the hot and humid conditions in Darwin, so back them to keep the streak alive.


Same Game Multi

Suns H2H, B.Long 2+ goals, R.West Anytime Goal, M.Kennedy 20+ Disposals,

We’ll look to the smalls in slippery conditions. Ben Long is averaging 2.3 goals per game this year, while Rhylee West has kicked eight goals in his last three.

Matt Kennedy 20+ remains one of this season’s best multi boosters. He’s averaging 26 touches for his new club.


Value Bet

Over 200.5 Points
Total Points

You would have thought that the humid, slippery conditions in Darwin would impact scoring but two of the last three games at this venue have cleared 200 points. These teams will back themselves head-to-head here so we could see another big tally in this one.
