Saturday, April 12, 2026
4:15 pm AEDT @ Norwood Oval, Adelaide
At the time of writing Ladbrokes had the head to head for Western Bulldogs set at $2.50, and $1.50 for the Brisbane Lions, This sets the bookmakers implied probability for both teams as follows:
The bookies have the Lions priced at $1.50, which suggests they win this about 62.19% of the time. Our model’s not too far off, sitting at 61%, so there’s no real standout value in jumping on Brisbane at that price, it’s pretty spot on.
The Bulldogs, on the other hand, are priced at $2.50 with a 37.81% implied chance. Our model has them a touch higher at 39%. It’s only a slight difference, but it does offer a teeny bit of value for the Doggies, especially if you think they’ve got it in them to cause an upset.
This one’s pretty well priced by the bookies across the board, but if we had to pick a side with a tiny edge, it’d be the Bulldogs. Not a huge gap, but enough to consider if you’re leaning that way anyway. Our prediction still has Brisbane getting up by 17 points, but don’t be shocked if the Doggies make a game of it.
What to do?
Its a tough game this week, the Bulldogs have had a slightly more difficult road heading into this game than the Lions, however, this doesn’t affect the stats too much. At Norwood Oval neither team has a fair advantage so this one will simply come down to how well both teams play on the day. Bulldogs are one of the few teams that have the potential to outshine the Lions at the moment so this one really could come down to the wire.
Best bet is the Western Bulldogs on the line is the best way to go with this one.
