The Sydney Swans were unable to extend their two-game winning run last week as they fell to an 80-66 loss at the hands of the St Kilda Saints and I’m tipping another loss in Brisbane.
Head to Head
The Lions won the last clash between the pair in an entertaining 113-89 triumph back in May last year. In their last 10, the Lions have won four times, while the Swans have six wins.
Brisbane Lions Form
The Brisbane Lions were in scintillating form between the end of March and mid-May, but they have since fallen on harder times, with a 95-78 loss to the Crows followed by a 98-73 defeat at the hands of the Hawthorn Hawks.
These defeats have seen the Lions lose ground on Collingwood and Port Adelaide at the top of the ladder, although they are still comfortably in the finals positions.
One positive for the Lions is that their last two defeats came on the road, meaning they boast a six-game winning run at home this term.

Sydney Swans Form
The Sydney Swans finally ended their four-game losing run by beating the North Melbourne Kangaroos and then downing the Carlton Blues in successive matches.
With the Swans finally hitting some sort of form, things were looking up. However, any momentum they had was taken from them as they were beaten at home by the St Kila Saints in an 80-66 loss last week.
This defeat was their seventh of the season. This, coupled with their five wins in 12 means they have a fight on their hands to make the finals.
