Hawthorn vs GWS Prediction

So what’s the go? Well, the bookies are giving the Hawks a far bigger edge than what the numbers suggest. Our model sees this as nearly a toss-up, which means the Giants are being seriously undervalued in the market.

If the Giants really have a 48.5% chance of winning, their true odds should be closer to $2.06, not the generous $2.65 currently on offer. That’s a clear edge worth taking a look at.

What to do?

There’s definite value backing GWS. The market has underrated them, and if our data holds up, punters could be getting overs at $2.65 for a team with nearly an even-money chance.

The Hawks do have a huge following down at UTAS which will give them a little pep rally boosting their confidence heading onto the field, which has historically went in the favour down in Tassie, but statistically this game is as close as they come.

A Hawks winning margin of 1-39 is the best move here.
