The prediction
Brisbane (2nd) was edged out in a tight encounter against Adelaide, going down by 68-63 in Round 13. They have won two of their past five games and despite this patchy form they have retained their position in the top four.

The GWS Giants (7th) are coming off a 16-point loss to Port Adelaide in Round 13. They have won 3 of their last 5 games but are searching for greater consistency.

Young midfielder Will Ashcroft was a standout for the Lions in their loss to Adelaide, gathering a team-high 31 disposals and 14 contested possessions.

Tom Green continued his superb season for the Giants, fighting hard against the Power to finish with 31 disposals, 17 contested possessions and 11 clearances.

Brisbane hold the recent advantage in this matchup, having won last year's epic semi-final clash 105-100.

The Lions are a daunting prospect at the Gabba but have shown some vulnerability in recent weeks. While the Giants may fancy their chances, beating Brisbane at home is one of the toughest tasks in football.
