Gold Coast Suns vs Sydney Swans Prediction: Gold Coast will cover the spread

The opening game of the 2023 Australian Football League season for the Gold Coast Suns will be played at home against the Sydney Swans. The host club is considered the underdog despite playing on their home field, whereas the Sydney Swans will enter this match having won their most recent encounter against the Carlton Blues.

Gold Coast Suns - home team will have to prove themselves

After finishing with only 40 points in the regular season, the Gold Coast Suns will enter this new season with great hopes despite the fact that they did not qualify for the playoffs in the previous season. Even though they are the underdogs in this battle, they will have to perform very well to avoid suffering a loss in their first game of the season, which takes place in their own stadium. They only managed to win two of their last seven matches, which were against West Coast Eagles and North Melbourne. The other five matches were losses, and they were against Essendon Bombers, Brisbane Lions, Hawthorn Hawks, Geelong Cats, and GWS Giants.

Sydney Swans - the better team

The Sydney Swans are going to be the favorite team going into this match, and they will be looking forward to securing a win in this contest. The Sydney Swans finished the regular season in third place in the Australian Football League, tied for second place with the Melbourne Demons on the same number of points (64), and eight points behind the Geelong Cats, who finished in first position. Having reached the playoff round, the Sydney Swans went on to win against the Melbourne Demons, advancing to the semifinals of the competition. Although they performed admirably to beat the difficult Collingwood Magpies with a score of 95-94, they were defeated by the Geelong Cats in the championship match with a score of 133-52. This result was humiliating for them. Before the start of the new season, the Sydney Swans had a winning record of four out of their previous five matches.

Expert Betting Tips

The away team is the more talented of the two teams competing in this match, and we anticipate that they will be able to come out on top. On the other hand, considering how much the home team has improved, we anticipate that they will cover the spread and become the favorite. Given that it is anticipated that Sydney Swans will have greater possession of the ball, a wager on "under" is also a solid one to go for.
