The prediction

Geelong face a St Kilda team that pushed Sydney all the way last week and caused a major upset against the Cats earlier this season.

The Geelong Cats (4th) suffered a surprising 111-85 loss on the road to a fired-up GWS Giants, a game where they struggled to gain any ascendancy.

St Kilda (15th) pushed the Sydney Swans to the limit, going down by just 5 points (92-87) in a spirited and encouraging see-sawing contest.

Shannon Neale was a major shining light in the Cats loss to the Giants, presenting strongly all day to kick a career-high five goals from eight marks.

Saints' co-captain, Callum Wilkie, was a rock in defence against Sydney's potent forward line, showcasing his elite reading of the play with a game-high 14 intercepts and 10 marks.

St Kilda shocked the Cats in Round 2 this year, securing a 98-91 victory. Despite that result, Geelong has historically dominated the matchup, leading 135 wins to 87.

While St Kilda’s upset win earlier in the year will provide them with belief, beating Geelong at the Cattery is one of the game's greatest challenges. Stung by last week's loss, expect a fired-up and focused Geelong to bounce back hard on their home deck

Geelong vs St Kilda tip: Geelong to win by 25+ points
