Brisbane Lions vs Richmond Tigers Prediction, Preview, Team News and More: AFL Round 10, 2024

The Brisbane Lions will face the Richmond Tigers this Saturday (May 18) at the Gabba stadium for the last game of the night. Both sides have struggled through the current season, which is surprising considering how well they did last year.

Brisbane’s last game against the Adelaide Crows ended in a draw though the Lions led the game for much of the match. Brisbane have won just three times this season and desperately need the win against the Tigers.

Richmond are pretty much struggling to keep their head above water. They’ve won just one match this season, against the winless Kangaroos, and just can’t seem to find their way to a win against any other team, regardless of ranking.

Their last game, against the Western Bulldogs, was their most humiliating defeat yet, losing by 91 points. Their last game against Brisbane ended with a similar result, with Brisbane walking away with a 134-53 victory.

It remains to be seen if this Saturday history will repeat itself.
