St Kilda Saints vs Collingwood Magpies Preview
An intriguing matchup awaits us as the Saints take on the Pies at Marvel on Friday night.
No one can quite work out St Kilda and, as for Collingwood, there remains a sense of optimism that the new era under coach Craig McRae can bring the Pies back into the big time.
The Saints do play Marvel Stadium well and have opened as $1.62 favourites, with the Magpies good value as $2.30 underdogs.
When these two sides met last year, the Saints won a low-scoring encounter by nine points, when they survived a late scare from Collingwood in the last quarter at the MCG.
There’s no doubting that the Saints will want to impress, the Magpies will want to show a flashier gameplan and all the usual things you’d expect from a round 1 encounter.
With this game being at Marvel, it’s the only thing that makes me swing towards St Kilda, so let’s take them at the $2 line on offer.
