Brisbane Lions vs Melbourne Demons Preview

A spot in the top four is on the line as the Brisbane Lions host Melbourne in what should be an epic Friday night encounter at the Gabba.

The Lions were thankful for poor kicking by the Saints and a standout performance from number one draft Pick Cam Rayner last week and Melbourne won a thriller, breaking Blues hearts in the process.

When these two teams last met only a few weeks back at the MCG, Melbourne easily took care of the Lions getting back into winning form to the tune of 63-points.

The Lions effort in that match had many pundits questioning if they can handle the prime time spotlight on the big stage at the MCG – which still lingers in the mind.

However, with this game at the Gabba, backing the Lions at home is one of the more reliable bets in football.

Having only lost two games in the past two years at the ground, Melbourne may fancy themselves for an upset and are good value at the $2.05 on offer at time of publishing – but it’s just too hard not to tip against Brisbane at home.

Expect another close one and I’ll take them at the 1-39 margin.
