Preview:
At the start of the season you probably wouldn’t have picked this match to potentially decide the top side but the Lions really have had a breakout season.
Brisbane continued their winning streak by smashing the Suns at home on the weekend whilst the Cats made easy work of North Melbourne.
We think this one is a fifty fifty match based on the two teams seasons this year so with the Cats going in at much better odds we are keen to back them.
Cats on top at the odds but wouldn’t talk anyone out of backing the Lions.
