Sydney v Collingwood tips, prediction and odds analysis; AFL Rd 9 preview

Welcome to our Sydney v Collingwood tips, predictions and odds analysis for their AFL round 9 clash at the SCG on Saturday afternoon. 

Collingwood have won the last two matches between the clubs, the last of these coming in round 10 last season, but much has changed. The Magpies are injury hit and rebuilding, while the Swans have been a surprise packet with five wins. 

Sydney are $1.29 favourites to defeat the Magpies ($3.64), who the punters have abandoned in droves despite defeating North Melbourne last outing. The line has been set at 21.5 and the over/under total points at 168.5 with Playup.

The Swans had their chances against undefeated Melbourne last outing, eventually falling short by nine points, with their superstar Lance Franklin making it through unscathed, and they showed they could match it with the best. 

The Magpies’ win over the Kangaroos was punctuated by a stellar six-goal performance from Jordan De Goey and the return of Darcy Moore, who was typically dominant, to the backline after a failed forward experiment. 

Sydney, which has a remarkably healthy list, is set to be boosted by Isaac Heeney and George Hewett, with the star pair set to return from an ankle and concussion injuries. 

Collingwood have been further decimated for this clash with defenders Jordan Roughead (concussion) and Nathan Murphy (concussion) both forced  out of the line-up.  This does however leave the salivating possibility of a Moore v Franklin match-up eventuating.

Sydney v Collingwood prediction 15/5/2021

Sydney clearly steeled themselves for a big performance against Melbourne last outing, but fell short against an undefeated team, in a promising display. However we have seen young teams play outstanding and then fall away the following week and the Magpies have a habit of beating them in Sydney. The Swans deserve favoritism but we think it might be a bit closer than expected. Our final Sydney v Collingwood prediction? Swans by 11 points.
