Sydney Swans (10-1) and Geelong Cats (8-4) will lock horns in AFL Round 13 action on Sunday at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).
The Swans appear invincible at the moment, having racked up seven wins on the trot to sit two wins clear of Essendon in second place at the top of the AFL ladder. They will be looking to use this rollicking momentum to take revenge against the Cats for the 81-point loss in the 2022 Grand Final. This season, the Swans are averaging 102 points per game and will score more than their team total of 95.5.
Geelong, meanwhile, snapped a four-game losing skid with a 30-point victory over Richmond Tigers at GMHBA Stadium, moving them back into the top-three on the AFL ladder. They could move within one win of the Swans in top spot as well as claim a big scalp with a win before their bye.
