Brisbane Lions vs St Kilda Saints Prediction, Preview, Team News and More: AFL Round 14, 2024

The Brisbane Lions will face the St Kilda Saints this Friday (June 14) at Gabba Stadium for the first game of the AFL Round 14. Both teams are neck and neck in the standings, making this match an intriguing encounter.

Brisbane has been in good form, with just one loss in their last five games. Last week, they secured their fifth win of the season by defeating the Western Bulldogs 114-71.

They face a St Kilda side that has also been performing well recently despite inconsistent results throughout the season. In the previous round, the Saints secured a narrow three-point win against Gold Coast in a low-scoring match (51-48), marking their first back-to-back victories of the season after defeating West Coast in Round 12.

The Lions began the season with a poor home record, losing their first three games at Gabba. However, they have since established dominance at the ground by winning their last two home fixtures against Gold Coast and Richmond.

The Saints, meanwhile, have a poor away-from-home record, winning two of six games on the road this term. However, they defeated West Coast in their most recent away game.

Expect a low-scoring result in this encounter with Brisbane taking home maximum points with a comfortable home victory.
