The Prediction

St Kilda come into the game with mixed form after a narrow seven-point victory over Geelong in Round 2, following a heavy loss to Adelaide in Round 1.

Richmond have had a tough start to the season, suffering a 72-point loss to Port Adelaide in Round 2 after narrowly defeating Carlton in Round 1. Injuries and suspensions have compounded their struggles, with key players like Dion Prestia, Tom Lynch, and Josh Gibcus unavailable through a mix of injury and suspension. Richmond’s defensive vulnerabilities were exposed against Port Adelaide, conceding 140 points, which raises concerns about their ability to contain St Kilda’s forward line.

The Saints have dominated Richmond in recent years, including a commanding 99-51 victory in their last meeting in August 2024.

Expect St Kilda to secure a comfortable victory while Richmond continues to search for answers early in the season. The Saints should cover a -27.5 point handicap, given their recent dominance over Richmond and the Tigers' current injury woes.

Tip: St. Kilda to win with -27.5 handicap
