Adelaide Crows vs Brisbane Lions AFL Tips - Crows soar in two versus three battle
In the anticipated AFL 2025 Round 13 clash between Adelaide Crows and Brisbane Lions, experts forecast a dominant victory for the Crows, who are expected to cover an 8.5-point spread comfortably. Sitting third, the Crows' attack and defense have impressed throughout the season, restricting high-quality scoring opportunities effectively. With players like Darcy Fogarty predicted to excel, scoring over 82.5 points seems achievable. The Crows' recent form, particularly their commanding 90-point win over Sydney Swans, reinforces their premiership potential.

Noone expected Adelaide to be sitting where they are after 12 games this season and if I am being honest, I’ve thrown a little on the Crows for the premiership while they are still at +$10.00 at most places.
All the chatter is about their attack, but their defence has been just as impressive, restricting quality inside 50s to their opponents making them work for the points once they get it into the area. This is exactly where the problem lies in this matchup for Brisbane, who have not found it easy to score points from their entries this season.
Another epic contest at Adelaide Oval is expected and I do predict that the Crows will kick on once again as they have done many times this season, scoring over their team total of just 82.5 points.
Picking the goal scorers is the challenge, with the breadth of their attack so wide, however, while you can still get $1.80 odds for Darcy Fogarty to kick 2+ then you have to keep going back to the well.
- 7 of 8 Adelaide victories have been by a margin of 18 points or more.
- Adelaide have scored 89 points or more in 7 of 8 victories this season
- Adelaide ranks in the top 3 in opposition marks inside 50, opposition goal accuracy and opposition goals per inside 50.

Head to Head
Last time the Crows and Lions met at Adelaide Oval in round 9 last season it ended up in a 90-point draw after Brisbane gave up an 18-point third quarter lead.
The draw and a win back in 2023 is the only ‘success’ the Crows have had against the Lions with Brisbane winning the other 6 encounters since the 2019 season.
The last 6 matches between Brisbane and Adelaide has gone over the game total.

The Crows are starting to lose the smokey tag and are being talked about like a true contender for the premiership, despite still paying $11.00 at most bookies to lift the trophy.
Adelaide embarrassed last year’s grand finalist the Sydney Swans on their home turf last week, making the trip back home after a 90-point victory, kicking an astonishing 21.5 on their way to victory.
The Crows attacking weapons are relentless inside the area, ranked 1st in the AFL with 54.4% accuracy and are second in the league, converting 28% of their forward entries into goals. Their depth in attack is unmatched in the AFL and their game against the Swans was a testament. The Crows kicked 21 goals and no player kicked more than the 3 (Ben Keays and Josh Rachele) with 14 different players scoring a major.

Brisbane had a slight hiccup but has sorted their form out over the last couple of weeks with some better performances against the Hawks and the Bombers to stay put in second on the ladder.
Although they have found themselves in the winner’s circle again, Chris Fagan will still want to see more out of his men, who have not really dominated a contest all season long.
Brisbane’s midfield has still been strong, ranked third in stoppage clearances this season and also have been delivering the ball inside 50 at a solid rate of 55.9 times per game (3rd in AFL). However, the Lions have been below average in the forward third with below average numbers in accuracy and goals per inside 50.
