The prediction
Melbourne have won 12 and lost six of their 18 matches as they sit four victories tucked inside the play-off places. Their most recent outing saw them earn a 16-point victory against local rivals North Melbourne last weekend.
Geelong had been in extremely impressive form but they have now drifted down to ninth in the table with three successive losses earlier this month, albeit that losing streak was ended by a crucial 27-point win against St Kilda last week.
Geelong will fancy themselves to now get back on track and we could be in for a high-scoring encounter at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Round 20 of the 2026 AFL campaign.
Melbourne vs Geelong tip: Over 179.5 points
