Sydney Swans vs Collingwood Magpies Preview
Another Sunday afternoon blockbuster is on the cards, this time from Sydney between two serious flag contenders.
The Swans fought off a feisty North Melbourne side last week thanks to some Buddy Franklin magic, a performance that has kept the Swans inside the top four for another round.
Sydney has strung together five wins on the trot, but this is another test entirely against a Collingwood outfit that continued its fairytale run to the finals with an 11th straight win over Melbourne last week.
All 11 of those wins have come by the narrowest of margins, but there’s been plenty to like about Collingwood’s fourth quarter resolve, as well as their outstanding defensive pressure when the game is on the line.
The Swans are rightful favourites heading into this game given their 8-2 record at the SCG this year, but it’s fair to say the Bloods have enjoyed a cruisy few weeks against the Crows, Giants, and Roos.
At the same time, one has to wonder if Collingwood’s luck will run out eventually, which makes this game even tougher to bet on.
Looking at the trends, the last five meetings have all gone Under the Total, and we might be in for a similar result given both sides rank 2nd and 3rd in tackles.
