ST KILDA snapped a three-match losing streak when it edged past West Coast to breathe fresh life into its season, but the Saints still have little margin for error from here ahead of hosting Gold Coast.
They will get a better indication of how genuine their finals hopes can be when they face a Suns outfit that is an entirely different prospect when on the road.
SAINTS v SUNS Follow it LIVE
Gold Coast (7-5) continued its imperious home form with a seventh victory as hosts while defeating Essendon last week but still needs to prove it can hit the same heights on the road.
The Suns are yet to win away from their two home decks but showed that records are made to be broken late last year when snapping an eight-match losing streak against the Saints.
The Saints and Suns are unchanged after wins last week.
