The prediction

In their ten matches so far this season, the GWS Giants have won four and lost six as they sit in the bottom-half of the ladder. Their most recent outing saw them succumb to a 17-point loss to West Coast last weekend.

Brisbane Lions, coached by Chris Fagan, have hit a rough patch of form with four defeats in their ten matches and they were hammered at home at The Gabba last weekend, succumbing to a 41-point loss to Geelong in Queensland.

The Brisbane Lions remain one of the strongest teams in the AFL and they need to bounce back as they come up against an inconsistent GWS Giants side in New South Wales.
