St Kilda Saints vs Gold Coast Suns Prediction, Preview, Team News and More: AFL Round 13, 2024
St Kilda Saints and the Gold Coast Suns are set to square off at Marvel Stadium this Saturday, June 8, in the AFL Round 13. Both sides won their previous rounds and will look to maintain the momentum.
The hosts defeated West Coast 82-62 in Round 12, ending a three-game losing streak. St Kilda have been inconsistent and it reflects in their form. They have failed to register consecutive wins and will hope to do so for the first time on Saturday.
Gold Coast produced top-eight quality last week by ending Essendon Bombers' unbeaten run in a 91-80 thriller. The Suns have been dominant at home, but their form away from home has been abysmal. They have not won a game on the road this term, but a matchup against the inconsistent Saints presents an opportunity to end the jinx.
Last term, the Suns snapped an eight-match losing streak against the Saints. They have the superior firepower to take down the Saints only if they bring their best on the matchday.
The clash could go either way, but St Kilda's home record in previous meetings between the two sides and Gold Coast's poor away-from-home record puts the Saints slightly ahead as the favorites.
