The prediction
The Gold Coast SUNS come into this one on the back of a 13-point loss to Carlton in their most recent outing, last weekend. That has majorly hurt their chances of reaching the play-offs, being their ninth successive defeat.
Melbourne have won 12 and lost seven of their 19 matches as they sit tucked inside the top ten. The Victorians succumbed to a 20-point defeat to Geelong last week, ending an impressive three-match winning streak against Hawthorn, Richmond and North Melbourne.
Melbourne will fancy themselves here with that loss to Geelong being quite unfortunate and Gold Coast are now seemingly fading away towards the end of the campaign.
Gold Coast vs Melbourne tip: Melbourne to win
