Gold Coast Suns (9-9) will look to maintain their impressive home record this season as they prepare to face Brisbane Lions (11-6-1) in the Q-Clash on Saturday.
The Suns have struggled with inconsistency this season, failing to break their away game curse after a loss to the GWS Giants in their recent match.
However, they return to People First Stadium with a perfect home record and are eager to secure four crucial points to keep their finals hopes alive. Despite this, their chances look slim as they sit in 12th place, six points behind Essendon in 8th, making this a must-win game for Damien Hardwick’s team.
In contrast, the Lions are currently the form team of the league, riding a seven-game winning streak. Their latest victory was particularly impressive, as they edged out the top-ranked Sydney Swans by just two points.
Chris Fagan's squad was down by 15 points heading into the final quarter but rallied to secure a top-three position, positioning themselves well for the remainder of the season, despite a rocky start where they lost five of their first seven matches.
