Richmond Tigers vs Brisbane Lions Predictions

The game moves to Metricon Stadium as Jack Riewoldt celebrates his 300th AFL appearance. I'm predicting there are going to be no winning milestone for the Tigers forward with a fifth straight loss predicted for the reigning premiers.

• Richmond Tigers have lost their last 4 matches.
• Brisbane Lions have won their last 2 matches against Richmond Tigers.
• Brisbane Lions won 102-74 when the edges met in Round 10 this season.
• Brisbane Lions have won 3 of their last 4 matches, and 10 of their last 12 matches.

Head to go

Having lost 15 during a row to the Tigers, Brisbane have won the last two clashes between the edges .

The Lions beat Richmond 69-54 within the first week of the finals last year, and repeated the victory with a 102-74 success in Round 10 this season.

The reigning premiers are during a batch of strife after losing four during a row and throwing in the towel of the highest eight spots on the ladder.

Damien Hardwick's side are poor over the last month, starting when losing within the final minute against West Coast Eagles thanks to an excellent Josh Kennedy basketball shot .

Richmond then went down by 40 points to St Kilda, scoring just 22 points during a 62-22 defeat, and lost by 10 points to Gold Coast Suns.

Last week, Richmond capitulated within the final quarter of an 87-71 defeat to Collingwood as they were outscored seven goals to at least one within the final term.

Brisbane Lions Form

Brisbane Lions suffered just their second defeat within the last 12 matches when suffering 95-63 upset at the hands of Metricon Stadium last weekend.

It was a poor display from the Lions, who were hampered by the loss of forward Eric Hipwood to a season-ending ACL injury.

Craig Fagan's side had won three straight before last week. A hard-fought 68-54 convert North Melbourne was followed by wide-margin victories over Geelong Cats (94-50) and Adelaide Crows (111-59).
