Sydney Swans vs Collingwood Magpies Preview
Remember back in Round 3 when we were raving about the high-scoring, free-flowing Swans? Well, they’re back to the ugly Swans, ranked 14th in the competition for points scored in the last five rounds at just 72 per game.
Sydney host Collingwood who are ranked slightly ahead of them for points since Round 3 in 13th spot, but for the season the Pies are ranked 15th averaging just 75.1 points per game.
If that wasn’t a strong enough sign that this clash will go unders on Saturday, these two teams notoriously play in low-scoring games. Ten of the last eleven between Sydney and Collingwood have gone unders including the last four which were tight contests – the margin less than 10 points in all four games.
Four of the last five Swans games this season have gone unders, with their average total points at 153.2 – a fair way off the current total points line set at 170.5. The stingy Swans of old are back, and it’s hard to see a big score kicked in this by either team.
