Brisbane Lions vs Adelaide Crows Preview
The Lions are in peak form heading towards September, riding a four-game winning streak and aiming for another victory at home against the Crows.
Adelaide has shown flashes of competitiveness against top teams, recently defeating the Giants with dynamic and free-flowing football. They now seem more experimental and liberated in their approach.
Recent encounters between these teams have been tight, with Brisbane edging out a narrow win at the Gabba and a thrilling draw at Adelaide Oval.
Brisbane’s midfield has been instrumental, dictating play and generating scoring opportunities with impressive consistency, averaging 32 scoring shots per game in their last four outings.
Adelaide will need a stout defensive effort, while exploiting Brisbane’s vulnerabilities against smaller forwards like Izak Rankine could provide them with crucial openings.
However, Brisbane’s resurgence at home, coupled with their midfield dominance, suggests they are poised for victory. If Adelaide allows Brisbane’s midfielders similar control as they did against the Giants, the Lions are likely to capitalize decisively.
