Melbourne Demons vs Brisbane Lions Tips and Prediction


Brisbane Lions are tipped to continue their strong run of form and defeat Melbourne Demons at the MCG, making it four consecutive wins in AFL Round 6.

How this game shapes up


This game is likely to be decided through midfield control and Brisbane hold a clear edge in that area.

The Lions are dominating clearances and stoppages, allowing them to control territory and create consistent scoring opportunities. Melbourne, on the other hand, have struggled when they are unable to dictate possession and were exposed last week when beaten in that department.

If Brisbane win the midfield battle again, they should generate enough forward entries to eventually break the game open, even if Melbourne remain competitive early.

Best Bet


Brisbane Lions 1-39 Winning Margin
Brisbane’s class should see them get the win, but Melbourne can stay within range.

Value Bet


Under 189.5 Total Points
Strong historical trends and expected game style point towards a lower scoring contest.

Player Props


Oscar Allen 2+ Goals
Allen has found form in Brisbane’s forward line and continues to present as a reliable scoring option.

Hugh McCluggage 25+ Disposals
With increased game time expected, McCluggage is well placed to return to his usual output.

What could go wrong?


If Melbourne control possession and lift their pressure around the contest, they could disrupt Brisbane’s flow and turn this into a genuine 50-50 contest.
