St Kilda v Gold Coast Preview, Marvel Stadium

Brilliant at home, mediocre away – Gold Coast simply have to start winning on the road.
There is no better opportunity for the Suns to record their first win of the season than on
Saturday night against struggling St Kilda. The Saints got a badly-needed confidence boost
with a hard-fought win against West Coast in Perth. But the Suns are stacked with talent on
every line, particularly in the midfield and it’s hard to see St Kilda shutting down Touk Miller,
Noah Anderson and Matt Rowell. St Kilda spearhead Max King was hurt against the Eagles
and remains in doubt to front up against Gold Coast.

When St Kilda and Gold Coast locked horns at Marvel Stadium, it was clear both teams brought contrasting energy into the match-up. The Saints, smarting from a heavy loss to West Coast (108–80), headed in with wounded confidence, while the Suns rode the wave of back-to-back wins over Hawthorn and the Bulldogs. For punters keen on AFL Betting Tips, recent form matters Gold Coast looked far more composed, especially with their scoring spread and attacking flow clicking into gear.

Looking deeper, models from Stats Insider forecast Gold Coast to win comfortably, with a projected final score of 91 to 78. Meanwhile, other data sources hinted that the Saints might be slightly undervalued even if the Suns were favoured.
