Sydney Swans vs Geelong Cats Prediction: Incredible Swans faces tough test

Sydney Cricket Ground will host the AFL encounter between Sydney Swans and Geelong Cats. Both teams are coming off a win in their last game. Which side will keep things rolling?

Sydney Swans will head into this game with confidence, having defeated Western Bulldogs in their last game, which ended 88-102. However, Sydney Swans have an incredible seven-win run, defeating the West Coast Eagles, Gold Coast Suns, Hawthorn Hawks, GWS Giants, Fremantle Dockers, and Carlton Blues. In the standings of AFL, Sydney Swans have the most points accumulated, 40, 6 more than the closest rival with one game in hand. 

Geelong Cats will hope for their luck in this game after a win over the Richmond Tigers last weekend in what ended 99-69. In the meantime, the prior encounters to that win saw the Geelong Cats lose four consecutive games. In that run, this team was defeated by Melbourne Demons, Port Adelaide Power, Gold Coast Suns and GWS Giants. In the meantime, thanks to their strong start to the season, Geelong Cats are seated 3rd spot in the AFL standings with 32 points. 

You can make a case about the Sydney Swans form this season, but the Geelong Cats can not be written off. Last time out, the Cats showed composure in defense, conceding just 69, the fewest in their last six games. However, the Sydney Swans offense is working well, and the visiting Geelong Cats could need to do better here. With respect to their past encounters, the road team should be able to cover the spread, with a bet on a few points being an option.
