The AFL semi-finals will be a sudden death showdown between four Victorian sides, desperate to play Brisbane and Port Adelaide for a spot in the 2020 Grand Final. St Kilda will be forced to battle the current premiers Richmond without several key players. Fresh off a major upset, Collingwood will be riding a wave of emotion when they battle Geelong.

All four teams have been on the road for more than three months, and it looms as a battle for survival as all four sides will be desperate to play next week. Check out our betting tips on the key AFL games below.

Richmond vs St Kilda

Despite their first loss to Brisbane in 15-matches, defending premiers Richmond continue to be favourites for the 2020 title. The Tigers were uncharacteristically poor against the Lions and won’t make the mistake of underestimating the Saints. Richmond will most likely gamble with the forward of Tom Lynch in the must-win clash this week; the Tigers forward missed the loss against the Lions through injury.
