Sydney Swans vs Geelong Cats Prediction, Preview, Team News and More: AFL Round 13, 2024

AFL fans will have a mouthwatering treat on Sunday (June 9) afternoon when Sydney Swans and Geelong Cats lock horns at the SCG in the AFL Round 13. The game sees two of the top four sides face each other in a battle of supremacy.

No doubt, Sydney is the superior team heading into this clash. The Swans are atop the standings and have been unbeaten in seven games. They are six points clear on the summit with a 10-1 record.

Sydney is coming off a bye in Round 12 and will be eager to get the ball rolling. Before their break, they beat Western Bulldogs 102-88 away from home. They have conceded the fewest points in the league this season and have impeccable home form, winning all five of their home games.

Geelong might be third in the standings, but their recent form has been poor, with only a win in their past five games. Their current position on the log is due to a seven-game winning streak recorded at the start of the season.

The Cats snapped a four-game losing run in the previous round by defeating Richmond by 30 points, a win that was expected, considering the Tigers' struggles. However, they face a tougher test against the Swans.

Sydney is the favorite heading into the tie and should continue from where they left off. However, we could witness a major upset if the Cats bring their A-game to the ground.
