Greater Western Sydney will be targeting three wins on the bounce and a place in the top four when they entertain the Gold Coast on Saturday.
The Giants started the season in blistering form when winning five games on the bounce, before a poor run of results saw them slide down the ladder.
They are now back on track and can be backed at 5.50 to finish in the top four this season.
Elsewhere, reigning premiers Collingwood are in danger of missing out on the top eight this season and are desperate for four points against Hawthorn.
The Pies are 3.50 to make the eight, while Hawthorn are 3.00 as they continue to fly up the ladder.
Ninth-placed Port Adelaide should pick up a win as they take on a Richmond side that continue to struggle, while St Kilda are in action against West Coast.
Giants back on track

. When: 13:45 (AEST), Saturday 20th July 2024
. How to watch: Kayo, Foxtel
. Odds: Greater Western Sydney 1.38, Gold Coast 3.10
GWS have found some form after defeating Richmond last week, while they also saw off Carlton by 12 points the week before.
Another four points could see them edge into the top four, which will mean a double shot in the finals campaign, so the stakes are high.
The Giants won by 28 points when the two sides met in Gather Round earlier this season. They can be backed at 5.50 to win by 25-36 points on this occasion.
The Suns are still searching for their first win on the road this season and are priced at 6.50 to win by 1-12 points.
Saints enjoy home comforts
. What: St Kilda v West Coast
. Where: Marvel Stadium, Melbourne
. When: 13:45 (AEST), Saturday 20th July 2024
. How to watch: Kayo, Foxtel, Channel 7
. Odds: St Kilda 1.23, West Coast 4.20
St Kilda are going well on home soil after winning two of the last three games at Marvel Stadium.
The loss was against Port Adelaide, but there was only two points in it, and they will fancy their chances against the struggling Eagles.
They won by 14 points in the west in Round 12 and are 5.50 to win by 13-24 points on Saturday.
West Coast continue to struggle, but do have Jake Waterman, who has booted 41 goals this season. He can be backed at 11.00 to kick the first of the game.
Hawks continue to climb
. What: Hawthorn v Collingwood
. Where: MCG, Melbourne
. When: 16:35 (AEST), Saturday 20th July 2024
. How to watch: Kayo, Foxtel
. Odds: Hawthorn 1.85, Collingwood 1.97
Hawthorn knocked over Fremantle last weekend and are closing in on finals after recovering from a horror start to the season.
James Sicily was on top form against the Dockers when booting three goals and is priced at 1.62 to score at anytime on Saturday.
Collingwood edged the game by five points when they met in Gather Round, but a lot has changed since then.
The Pies are on the slide after losing the last three games, but can be backed at 6.00 to respond and beat the Hawks by 1-12 points.
Power look to respond
. What: Port Adelaide v Richmond
. Where: Adelaide Oval, Adelaide
. When: 19:30 (AEST), Saturday 20th July 2024
. How to watch: Kayo, Foxtel
. Odds: Port Adelaide 1.10, Richmond 7.00
Port Adelaide slipped out of the eight when losing to the Gold Coast last weekend and need to bounce back on home soil.
They had won the two games before the loss to the Suns, and will be confident of bouncing back against a Tigers side that have lost the last four in a row.
Port won by 30 points back in Round 2 and are 5.50 to do the same again and win by 25-36.
