Brisbane Lions host Sydney Swans in Round 16 of the 2026 AFL season at Gabba, Brisbane on Thursday, June 25th 2026. Read on for our full match preview, betting tips, and best odds.
Finals will well and truly be front of mind for both Brisbane and Sydney as they return from a bye and start plotting their path to September.
The Lions, who are currently $1.87 favourites at home, won two in a row against the Suns and Tigers prior to their week off, while the Swans sit safely in second spot on the ladder with a 12-2 record.
Errol Gulden is a key inclusion to the Swans’ midfield after an extended period on the sidelines with a shoulder injury, while Tom McCartin is expected to return from concussion.
Sydney (+1.5) has covered the line in each of its last five matches at the Gabba, and they should be able to flex their muscles against an inconsistent Lions.
