Adelaide Crows vs St Kilda Saints Prediction: Crows expected to step up their game

Adelaide Oval will be the venue for this round 18 Australian Football League action between Adelaide Crows and St Kilda Saints. Let’s preview this game and make betting opportunities. 

Adelaide Crows are coming off a poor run of games and they will hope to get a positive result in this one. In their last five matches, Adelaide Crows secured just one win, coming against the GWS Giants. However, other matches in that run saw the Adelaide Crows lose to the Hawthorn Hawks, Richmond Tigers, Sydney Swans, and the Brisbane Lions. Heading into this game, Adelaide Crows have secured 22 points from 16 matches this season, positioning them 15th in the standings.

St Kilda Saints ended consecutive defeats, securing a win this time against the Sydney Swans in an 84-82 win. However, their prior games to that win saw St Kilda Saints lose to the Brisbane Lions and Port Adelaide Power. However, St Kilda Saints have won three of their last five games, picking wins over the West Coast Eagles and Gold Coast Suns. This season, St Kilda Saints have 24 points from 16 matches, positioning them 14th in the standing. 

St Kilda Saints have struggled, and despite winning last win, that was not a statement one. On the other hand, St Kilda Saints have struggled so much, but at home against a struggling side like them, I expect them to be at the top level. This should be an evenly contested encounter, and we can expect the two sides to approach this game with an offensive mentality in a game that should end in favor of the Crows.
