Preview:

The Lions head back to the Gabba to close out Round 20 with their six-game winning streak on the line.

Brisbane were far from their best last week down in Tassie, but they made the wayward Hawks pay by booting five goals in the third quarter to walk away with a 27-point victory.

The Bulldogs, on the other hand, were at their very best last week against the Dockers. The Dogs won by 47-points at home, a game dominated by Bailey Dale and Jack Macrae as Luke Beveridge’s side makes one last push for a top-eight spot.

This is a must-win game for both sides with only four rounds remaining. For the Lions, a top-two finish is still on the cards, while the Dogs could rejoin the top eight with a win and a Crows loss.

The last three games between these two sides at The Gabba have been relatively close, although you do need to rewind all the way back to 2015 to find the last time the Lions defeated the Bulldogs.

There’s no doubt this game should be close considering the Dogs can match Brisbane’s pressure through the midfield.

The Bulldogs have built a reputation for storming home late in the fourth quarter, a worrying sign for the Lions as they tend to take their foot off the gas at times.

With only 16-points separating these two during the Dogs’ win back in Round 8, back the Lions to seek revenge in a close one.
