Gold Coast Suns vs Brisbane Lions Prediction: Suns to shock Lions in this game

Heritage Bank Stadium will host the AFL encounter between Gold Coast Suns and Brisbane Lions. The Brisbane Lions won the last meeting between these sides. Can the Lions get a revenge win here?

Gold Coast Suns continued their inconsistent play, and last weekend against the GWS Giants, they ended on the losing end. In a game that ended 89-50, that defeat was Gold Coast Suns fourth in their last six. In other encounters, this team lost to St Kilda Saints, Fremantle Dockers, and North Melbourne Kangaroos, games that ended 51-48, 85-65, and 87-3. In the last matches, Gold Coast Suns' lone wins were against the Collingwood Magpies and Port Adelaide Power, which ended 101-90 and 96-82. Heading into this encounter, the Gold Coast Suns are seated 12th in the AFL standings with 36 points from 18 matches. 

The Brisbane Lions are coming off their 8th win in a row. Week in and week out, this team has consistently shown themselves and have moved to 3rd in the league standings. However, this team has not lost since early June, with their last defeat being against Hawthorn Hawks on the last weekend of May, a game that ended 100-75. Heading into this game, Brisbane Lions have the most points accumulated in the last months and will head into this game confidently to keep things running.

The Brisbane Lions have been excellent in their last two months, and we expect them to show character here. However, I feel the Gold Coast Suns will have a chance here, as the Lions can not be trusted to keep things going. While this should be tight, I expect a few points in this game, but the Suns should return to winning ways.
