Sydney Swans take on Gold Coast Suns in round six of the AFL on Sunday (April 21).
Sydney had a great start to the season, which was cut short by an unexpected loss to Richmond, but they seem to have bounced back after defeating West Coast.
Gold Coast, meanwhile, have had a smooth season and will be eager to challenge themselves against a strong team like the Swans. They will also be going into this contest with a fair bit of confidence, having beaten the Swans in three of their last five games at the SCG.
Although the Swans are the stronger team, the Suns have proven time and time again that they have what it takes to climb up the ladder.

- Gold Coast have won two of their last five matches at the SCG.

Sydney vs Gold Coast Preview
Sydneyoccupies fourth place on the ladder, while the Suns are ninth. But this season has been riddled with upsets, so the outcome of this game cannot be determined by rankings alone.
The Swans have won four of their five matches this season and are the favorites this weekend to beat the Suns. However, this is far from an easy matchup for the Swans.
The Suns are riding the momentum from their win against Hawthorn and have one of the best midfields of any team this season. They also seem to have the advantage at the venue, the SCG, where they have won three of their last five games.

Sydney vs Gold Coast Prediction
Sydney will be returning from a week-long break to face the Gold Coast Suns and will be in high spirits.
The Suns will also be in high spirits after their dominant performance against Hawthorn. Despite their poor form against Richmond and their razor-thin game with West Coast, the Swans are one of the most promising teams this season. Against a less experienced team like the Suns, they should secure a much-needed win.
The Suns, meanwhile, will be comfortable playing at the SCG, a venue where they’ve had more luck than at their own home. This might be a tougher contest than one would like to imagine.
Prediction: Sydney by 23 points
