St Kilda vs Hawthorn Predictions

St Kilda bounced back to winning ways at the first time of asking as they downed the GWS Giants in a tight 92-80 on the road last weekend. They should be much too good for the struggling Hawks.

Hawthorn finally ended their six-game losing run with a stunning 142-26 triumph over the West Coast Eagles in their best performance of the campaign so far, but this is a different level.

Head to Head

The Saints have won the last six matches in a row against Hawthorn and seven of the last 10 with the Hawks triumphing just three times.

St Kilda Form

St Kilda have been brilliant this season and they have managed to ensure that one defeat is not followed by another.

Last week, they were looking to bounce back from a humbling 121-69 loss to the Adelaide Crows. They managed to do exactly that by beating the GWS Giants 92-80 with this seeing their early-season charge up the ladder maintained.

Currently sitting in fifth on the ladder, St Kilda have their fate in their own hands. A win here would be their eighth win in 11 matches for a side really enjoying their campaign so far.

St Kilda Team News

St Kilda have named Tim Membrey among the emergencies. Mitch Owens took a knock to the head last week and is ruled out.

Hawthorn Form

Hawthorn have struggled this term, with their inability to win matches seeing them in 16th place on the ladder with eight defeats in 10 matches.

Hawthorn came into their last game on the back of a six-game losing run and were clearly in need of a huge performance, and that is exactly what they got.

The Hawks were able to completely dismantle fellow strugglers the West Coast Eagles in a stunning 142-26 win that saw them notch only their second victory of the campaign.

Hawthorn Team News

Ned Reeves is available this week after being forced off last week, with the Hawks unchanged.

Verdict

St Kilda v Hawthorn

I am backing St Kilda to easily win this one and continue their brilliant season with a big win.
