Geelong Cats vs Gold Coast Suns Tips & Predictions Round 14 2026

The Cats have lost their last two games by a combined five points, going down by four to Carlton before a one-point loss to Adelaide. That can look like a form slump on paper, but it is not a side falling apart. Geelong are still averaging 100.8 points across their last five games and return to a venue where they have been almost automatic.
GMHBA Stadium is the key angle. Geelong have won their last nine matches at the venue by an average margin of 45 points and have never lost to Gold Coast there in nine attempts. This is the perfect spot for Chris Scott’s side to reset.
Gold Coast have now lost two straight and were poor in the QClash, beaten by 31 points by Brisbane after being smashed around clearance and exposed defensively. The Suns have plenty of talent, but this is a brutal road trip against a Geelong team that should control territory and possession.
The Over 179.5 is the other clear play. The model projects 195.9 total points, Geelong are averaging just over 100 points across their last five games and Gold Coast are still capable of scoring enough to help the total even if the Cats win clearly.
- Geelong have won their last nine games at GMHBA Stadium by an average margin of 45 points.
- The Cats have never lost to Gold Coast at GMHBA Stadium in nine meetings.
- Geelong have scored 107 points or more in 8 of thier last 9 games at GMHBA Stadium
- Oliver Henry has 11 goals in his last 5 matches for Geelong
Head to Head
Gold Coast made a big statement in Opening Round this season, beating an undermanned Geelong 125-69 in one of the Suns’ best performances of the year.
That result does give the visitors some confidence, but this is a very different task at GMHBA Stadium. Geelong have dominated this matchup at home and are 8-0 against the Suns at the venue in the long-term head-to-head data.
Across the last five meetings, Gold Coast have won three, including big victories by 56 and 64 points.
Geelong Cats Form Analysis
Geelong are coming off back-to-back narrow losses, but there is no need to panic.
The Cats lost by four points to Carlton and then by one point to Adelaide, with both games coming away from GMHBA Stadium. They had chances to win both and still sit 8-5 with a percentage profile that looks more like a top-four side than a team sliding down the ladder.
The Adelaide loss was frustrating because Geelong fought back from 20 points down and drew level late before falling short by a behind. Patrick Dangerfield, Max Holmes, Bailey Smith and Tanner Bruhn were all strong, but Tom Stewart was kept quiet and later entered concussion protocols.
Gold Coast Suns Form Analysis
Gold Coast are starting to wobble at the wrong time.
The Suns were 7-3 after their Darwin block, but back-to-back losses to North Melbourne and Brisbane have dragged them back into the chasing pack. Their QClash loss was especially disappointing, with Brisbane leading all night and Logan Morris kicking seven goals.
Gold Coast still have scoring weapons. Ben King kicked four last week, Christian Petracca, Noah Anderson and Touk Miller give them genuine midfield class, and John Noble has been outstanding across half-back.
The concern is whether they can hold up defensively on the road. The Suns lost the clearance battle badly against Brisbane, lost Lachie Weller and Will Graham to hamstring injuries and now face a Geelong team that usually controls the ground at GMHBA Stadium.
