The prediction

Round 4 saw Sydney return from their bye-week with a mammoth 128-point win over West Coast, which marked their biggest ever away win in the AFL.

The Swans kicked an incredible 24 goals in the contest at Optus Stadium, as they moved to 3-1 for the season.

They face a Gold Coast side who suffered their first setback of the season last week, with the Suns defeated by an inspired Melbourne at the MCG.

Undoubtedly two of the most talented teams in the league, this could potentially be the match of the round with plenty of star quality on show. We're just edging Sydney here, especially after their record-breaking win last week.
