North Melbourne vs Sydney Swans Predictions

North Melbourne have been awful this term, with the Roos currently on a seven-game losing run that was extended by a convincing 135-65 loss at the hands of the Port Adelaide Power.

The Sydney Swans are also struggling at the moment, with their 103-86 loss to the Fremantle Dockers making it four defeats in a row. However, the Swans should be too good here.

Head to Head

The Swans have won the last five matches in a row against their opponents and eight of their last 10, with North Melbourne winning the other two.

North Melbourne Form

Put simply, North Melbourne have not been good enough this season, with the Roos languishing in 16th on the ladder with just two wins from their opening nine games.

Frustratingly, their season started off in fine style as they downed the West Coast Eagles and the Fremantle Dockers.

Since then, they have lost seven matches in a row, including a damaging 135-65 loss to the Port Adelaide Power last week.

North Melbourne Team News

North Melbourne have to contend with a lot of changes for their upcoming game after their brutal loss last week.

Luke Davies-Uniacke (hamstring), Darcy Tucker (hamstring), Flynn Perez (concussion), Cameron Zurhaar (facial injury), Aidan Corr (suspension) and Jack Mahony (shoulder) are all out of this game.

Callum Coleman-Jones, George Wardlaw, Aaron Hall, Will Phillips, Tom Powell and Eddie Ford are the ins.

The Sydney Swans have also struggled to get going this season, with their woes seeing them languishing in 14th on the ladder with three wins from a possible nine.

Their last match ended in a tough 103-86 defeat at the hands of the Fremantle Dockers to make it four defeats in a row, with this another major blow to their already faltering morale.

The Swans are without Callum Mills, Logan McDonald, Tom Hickey and Marc Sheather through injury.

Peter Ladhams returns to the side along with Lachlan McAndrew and Dylan Stephens.

Verdict

North Melbourne v Sydney

This will likely be a tight game, with neither overly convincing this term. With this in mind, I am backing the Swans to come out on top in a match that sees under 172.5 points.
