Brisbane Lions vs Adelaide Crows Prediction: Lions should have little probleM here

As part of the Australia National Football League's Week 22 planned matchups, the Brisbane Lions and the Adelaide Crows will compete against one another at The Gabba. Although the Brisbane Lions are heavy favorites to win this match, the Adelaide Crows have won two games in a row after defeating the Gold Coast Suns the week before.

After suffering a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Gold Coast Suns by a score of 96-55 the previous week, the Brisbane Lions were able to get back on track with a remarkable victory over the Fremantle Dockers by a score of 77-74. The Brisbane Lions may currently be in third place on the ladder, but they have been going through a rough patch in terms of their play, as evidenced by the fact that they have dropped two of their most recent four matches. After suffering a close defeat at the hands of the Melbourne Demons (105–104), the Geelong Cats were able to pull off a come-from-behind victory. They were defeated by the Gold Coast Suns with a score of 96-55 in a game that took place before the Fremantle Dockers 77-74 victory. Even though it is obvious that the Lions have been having trouble maintaining their consistency as of late, they will still be confident in their ability to beat the Crows this week and earn their 15th win of the season. Oscar McInerney and Keidean Coleman are both expected to make a comeback for this match for the Brisbane Lions, and if they do, Darcy Fort and Jaspa Fletcher will most likely be taken out of the lineup as a result.

After defeating the Gold Coast Suns by a score of 89-61 in their most recent game, the Adelaide Crows have now won two games in a row. With two victories in their most recent two games, the Adelaide Crows have moved to within four points of the GWS Giants, who are now in eighth place, and are doing their best to stage a late-season assault for a top eight position. They will be aware that due to the tough nature of the middle of the ladder, they cannot bank on only obtaining one more win in their battle for a post-season position, but a win here may see the Crows move level on points with the Giants. On the other hand, given that the Crows have now lost their previous six consecutive matches played away from home, I do not have much faith in their ability to defeat the Lions in this contest.

The previous performances of both clubs indicate that this matchup will likely be close. In the meantime, despite the fact that the Brisbane Lions are not consistent at all, as seen by the fact that they have not been able to win consecutive games recently, the visiting Adelaide Crows do not appear to be very spectacular either. Because of this, even though I believe that this game will go to overtime, I believe that the Adelaide Crows will still be able to cover the spread because they have a good chance of making the postseason.
