St Kilda vs Essendon Preview

Essendon take on St Kilda at Marvel Stadium on Saturday afternoon and will be fighting to keep its top-eight hopes alive. The Bombers have lost five of its last seven matches, going down late at the venue to Adelaide by two-points last weekend.

The Bombers defense has struggled recently, conceding an average of 94.7 points over the last seven matches, compared to 81.1 points over the first 11 matches of 2024.

St Kilda has scored an average of just 73.3 points per match in 2024, which may provide an opportunity for Essendon’s defense to improve. The Saints had a big win against West Coast last Saturday, winning 113-41.

Tim Membrey had an impressive performance in that match, with 23 disposals, 10 marks, 10 score involvements, and five goals.

Earlier in the year, Essendon defeated St Kilda 71-67 in Round 3 with Nic Martin picking up 44 disposals. He will need another big game in the midfield as will Zach Merrett. But the Saints do have the superior recent form in recent times, having won four of their past seven, while the Bombers have won two in the same period. St Kilda do look to be the value in the head to head betting.
