St Kilda Saints vs GWS Giants Preview
This game is a bloody hard one to tip and at the time of publish, GWS is the $1.73 favourite in our head-to-head market with the Saints the $2.10 underdog.
While there is no home-ground advantage with this match being played at the MCG, the Giants have lost six of their last eight at the ground and this will be the first final they’ve played at the ground since that 89-point humiliation in the 2019 Grand Final.
Both teams have been surprise packets this season, especially the Giants while everyone has been writing off the Saints despite being in the top eight all season.
When these two sides met back in Round 10 the Saints jagged an 8-point victory over the Giants with Max King booting four goals and Jack Sinclair getting 37 disposals.
Heading into the finals, the Giants have won nine of their last 11, with just five out of 11 for the Saints.
The only reason why I’m backing St Kilda is Ross Lyon’s ability to find a way to combat a Giants team on the attack and the fact the Saints have won their last four against the orange team.
They’ve been written off all year, and they’ll just find a way to do it again.
It’s very on-brand for them.
