GWS Giants vs Brisbane Lions Preview

Carlton managed to put a dent in the Giants’ perfect run this season but the Giants will be looking to immediately return to the winners circle.

With just two wins under their belt this season, Brisbane will be aiming to take out the Giants this Thursday. Only one team can walk away with the win and with both sides coming off a loss, we can expect to see a highly competitive round 7 match that will likely also be low-scoring.

GWS Giants vs Brisbane Lions Prediction

The Giants are coming off their first loss of the season after their match against Carlton last weekend. The Blues triumphed over the Giants walking away with a 117-98 victory despite GWS having an initial 20 point lead. The Giants are one of the best teams in the league offensively, however, their defense has always been their weak point.

So far this season, The Lions' performance has been inconsistent. In their round 6 clash with the Geelong Cats, they lost the game 37-62, making it their worst performance this season.

That said, prior to that loss, Brisbane was on a two match win streak, during which they beat the Melbourne Demons and the North Melbourne Kangaroos. But 2 back-to-back wins can hardly be called a streak. Besides, their last match against Geelong is the fourth time they’re losing this season. The first three losses came in their first 3 games of the season, losing to Carlton, Fremantle and Collingwood.

With a Goal Efficiency of 18.1% and a Shooting Efficiency of 41%, it’s hard to imagine that they’ll be able to get past the Giants.

The Giants might have lost their last match but that is the only loss they’ve had this season and against a team that has lost 4 matches, including their last one, there’s no doubt that GWS will be walking away with the win.

Prediction: Giants win by 13 points
