The previous week, the Gold Coast Suns were defeated by the Sydney Swans by a score of 114-90. They now head into this matchup with that setback fresh in their minds. The Gold Coast Suns have been unable to maintain consistency as of late, and as a result, their chances of finishing in the top eight for this season have been significantly diminished as a direct result of this poor play. After suffering losses to the Adelaide Crows and the Sydney Swans in their most recent two games, the team has dropped to 15th place on the ladder with 36 points. This places them eight points behind the Western Bulldogs, who are now in eighth place with just two games left to play. Even if they were to win both of their remaining matches, it is unlikely that they would be able to pass the teams that are currently between them and the Western Bulldogs in ninth place. Their final game is against North Melbourne, which is currently in second-to-last place in the standings. Following their stellar performances in the Victorian Football League, players such as Brayden Fiorini, Charlie Constable, and Alex Sexton are available to the Suns. Ben King is a candidate to make his return to the starting lineup, while Elijah Hollands may also see action for the home team in this week's matchup
Carlton Blues - Blues confident of keeping their momentum
The Carlton Blues prevailed over the Melbourne Demons with a decisive score of 60-56, extending their current winning streak to eight games. This home and away season, the Carlton Blues have been exceptionally successful, and as a result, they have moved up the ladder to a position of fifth place with 50 points, moving up from their previous position as top eight contenders. Because of their point total, they are currently in ninth place, six points ahead of the Essendon Bombers. Although they are not completely certain of their position in the postseason just yet, they are well aware that they are on the verge of securing a spot in the postseason. The Carlton Blues' primary objective will probably be to extend their incredible winning streak to nine games, as doing so will enable them to go into the postseason in the best possible shape. Both Harry McKay and Jack Silvagni should be able to participate in this weekend's game, as Harry McKay is working his way back from a knee injury, and Jack Silvagni should also be available. Hamstring injuries have sidelined Sam Walsh and Adam Cerra, while Matt Kennedy and Mitch McGovern are also unable to play due to their severity.
Expert Betting Tips
Even though the Gold Coast Suns have had a dismal record and uneven play thus far, it is quite difficult to count them out of this match. If, on the other hand, you have a team like the Carlton Blues that has been doing well as of late and is also on a winning streak, it is impossible to not put your money on them winning. In the meantime, it appears like this game is going to develop into one that will come down to the wire, and as a result, the Gold Coast Suns are anticipated to at least cover the run while playing at home. In the meantime, despite the fact that Carlton Blues will enter this match as the favorite, the away team should have their luck on their side once again, and if their players have outstanding performances, they should come out on top.
