The two teams may have only squared off 16 times in AFL history, but Geelong and Gold Coast have produced some entertaining battles over the journey. 

Ahead of what might be one of the most anticipated clashes yet on Saturday afternoon, the Cats will be looking to extend their strong record over the Suns dating back to their inaugural season in 2011. 

To this point of their history, Gold Coast are yet to win a game at GMHBA Stadium but have got the better of Geelong in the most recent two matches. 

Take a look at some of the most interesting numbers from Geelong's brief history against the Suns. 

16 - The total number of games played between the two teams. Geelong holds a strong record with 12 wins against four losses across this span. 

8 - The number of players to have featured in an AFL match for both Geelong and Gold Coast. This includes Gary Ablett Junior, Nathan Ablett, Charlie Constable, George Horlin-Smith, Jordan Murdoch, Josh Caddy, Zac Smith and Jack Bowes. New recruit, Jack Martin can also potentially add his name to this list at some stage. 

30,087 - The largest crowd the two teams have played in front of, which came in Round 10 of the 2013 season at GMHBA Stadium. This match was featured in Time Cat-Sule this week, the first night game at Kardinia Park and Gary Ablett's return to Geelong after joining Gold Coast.
