Show Preview
Sydney will be out to confirm their top-four credentials, and end the remarkable winning streak of Collingwood, in a Sunday afternoon blockbuster at the SCG with serious finals ramifications. Join The Roar for live scores and rolling coverage from 3:20pm (AEST).
After eleven wins on the trot, Collingwood have forgotten how to lose and will be confident of yet another victory despite being on the road.
Sydney play their home deck very well and will be hoping to move back into the top four with a win that could see them sit as high as second on the ladder come the end of the round.
The match looms as something special, with two teams prepared to take on risk for the potential rewards. That has many predicting a high-scoring affair, with the excellent conditions also adding weight to that line of thinking.
Both teams could squeeze into the top four at the completion of the home and away season, yet a loss today would make that more difficult than either would like. It all reeks of something of a desperate affair, with a home final up for grabs for the victor.
Team news sees a rarity, with both sides entering the contest without changes. That only adds further interest to the match, with no excuses available to the vanquished and the winner certain to move forward into the final week of the home and away season with a level of confidence that will make them difficult to topple across the month that follows.
Prediction
One could almost pick a draw in this fixture, so tight it may be. The bookies have the Swans firm favourites, yet that does seem a little crazy considering the run Collingwood have compiled over the last three months.
The Pies’ defence will prove the difference and in another nail biter, they will prevail by seven points.
