Brisbane Lions vs Carlton Blues Prediction: Lions will dominate this fixture

The Gabba will host the AFL encounter between the Brisbane Lions and Carlton Blues. In this encounter, the Lions come in as overwhelming favorites, while the Carlton Blues are underdogs. 

The Brisbane Lions were one of the few teams that showed they could give their best on tough days this season, and they head into this game as overwhelming favorites. In the regular season, the Brisbane Lions accumulated 58 points from 22 matches, finishing 5th in the standings. In the meantime, their run of matches into this game saw the Brisbane Lions win three, coming against Gold Coast Suns, St Kilda Saints, and Essendon Bombers.

The Carlton Blues did not have things easy in the regular season, and they have to do better in this playoff. In 22 competitive matches, the Carlton Blues accumulated 48 points, pulling off a 110.61 percentage. In the meantime, looking at their recent matches into this encounter, the Carlton Blues won only one of their last five, coming against the West Coast Eagles. In the meantime, other encounters saw this team lose to Port Adelaide Power, Collingwood Magpies, Hawthorn Hawks, and St. Kilda Saints.

The Brisbane Lions have been very hot this season, and I expect them to approach this game with confidence. While the Blues struggled so much this season, they still did well to make the playoffs, but their chances of improving their play in this encounter are low. This should be a competitive game in between, but the Brisbane Lions are too good not to sweep this one.
