Brisbane Lions vs Geelong Cats Prediction: Cats won’t lose with huge margin

The Gabba will host this week's round 6 AFL match between the Brisbane Lions and Geelong Cats. Heading into this anticipated game, both teams have back-to-back victories. Which side will grab the win here?

Brisbane Lions are 2-3 this season, and heading into this game, they will look to improve their record. The home side started the season slow but is becoming strong again, just like they were projected at the start. Last week, Brisbane Lions pulled off a 22-margin win over Melbourne Demons on the road, their second win of the season. However, with that win, Brisbane Lions now boast of consecutive league wins, with their first being a home win over the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Off to this game, Brisbane Lions now have 8 points this season, pulling off a percentile value of 112.87, positioning them 11th in the league standings.

Ahead of this clash, Zac Bailey will be out due to an injury that should last up to six weeks. Also, Conor McKenna is back on the squad list after recovering from a hamstring injury.

Geelong Cats have been more than exceptional this season, and they come into this game on a high note. So far this season, Geelong Cats remain one of the two sides that have not yet tasted defeat in the league, and they will look to keep their status here as they presently sit second spot of the standings with maximum points accumulated from each of their matches. The previous week, Geelong Cats pulled off a 75-point win over the North Melbourne Kangaroos, a testament to how strong this side is. In other wins, they defeated the Western Bulldogs and St Kilda Saints, which are highlights of their big performances, as they also beat the Adelaide Crows and the Hawthorn Hawks.

Going into this game, the Geelong Cats will have Cam Guthrie back on the squad list, while Mitch Edwards and Joe Furphy are still weeks away from full recovery.

I trust the Brisbane Lions here after a strong performance in the last two games. However, with a side playing like this, Geelong Cats are very tough to bet against, regardless of how the bookies share the odds. This game will require both sides to focus on defensive play to avoid being defeated. Take the Geelong Cats to cover the spread here, with total points hitting ‘under’
