Adelaide v St Kilda
Friday 7:20pm at Adelaide Oval



Adelaide host St Kilda in a compelling Friday Night Football that sees the Crows fighting to win back top spot and the Saints looking to get back inside the Top 8.
Form

The Crows have won just two of their last five contests, being held to sub-90 in those three defeats. Adelaide still rank top in attack averaging 119.5 points per game while their defence rates fifth conceding 86.5 points.
St Kilda are down to 11th on the ladder following back-to-back losses to Sydney and the Western Bulldogs. The Saints now have a 5-5 record. St Kilda have kicked 85 points or fewer in their last three. The Saints rank 11th in both attack and defence. St Kilda are 1-1 interstate this year.

What To Expect
The Crows should have few problems putting the Saints to the sword here. Adelaide are so reliable as a big favourite at home and with St Kilda’s terrible interstate record, the Crows are certainly a bet. Adelaide can score at will when they are on and that could tear open a Saints defence that ranks in the bottom half of the league.
