Essendon Bombers vs Western Bulldogs

Thursday, July 21, 2023

7:50 PM @ Marvel Stadium

The stakes are high, with the victors boosting their chances of securing a home elimination final. Despite Essendon’s impressive 7-4 record in Melbourne, including four consecutive wins at Marvel Stadium, the Bulldogs have a strong history against the Bombers, winning eight of their last nine encounters.

The Bulldogs’ recent performance, despite a narrow loss to Sydney, showcased the talents of Marcus Bontempelli and Tim English. Their efforts, combined with the team’s history of winning the first quarter in their last nine matches against Essendon, suggest a strong start for the Bulldogs.

Essendon, on the other hand, is coming off a devastating 122-45 loss to Geelong. Their record outside of Melbourne this season stands at a disappointing 2-4. Despite their strong performance at Marvel Stadium, the recent loss may have dented their confidence.

Given these factors, it’s reasonable to predict a victory for the Western Bulldogs. The final score? A close game, but the Bulldogs should edge out Essendon with a final score of 88-78. This match is set to be a nail-biter, with both teams fighting hard for a crucial win.

Betting Tip: Western Bulldogs @1.77

Suggested Bet: Bulldogs WINNING MARGIN 1-39

 

Richmond Tigers vs Hawthorn Hawks

Saturday, July 22, 2023

1:45 PM @ MCG

Richmond, with their sights set on the top eight, are in a strong position, having claimed five wins from their last six games. Their recent demolition of West Coast at Optus Stadium was a testament to their strength, with Daniel Rioli, Dustin Martin, and Shai Bolton making significant contributions.

On the other hand, Hawthorn, led by club captain James Sicily, has also been on a winning streak, marking their fourth straight win against North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium. However, their track record at the MCG, the venue for the upcoming match, is less impressive, having failed to cover the line in six of their last seven matches there.

Richmond has a strong history against Hawthorn, having won seven of their last nine matches against them. Their last encounter at the MCG resulted in a convincing victory for Richmond, led by Tom Lynch’s eight goals. Despite Lynch’s absence this time, Richmond’s recent form and historical advantage over Hawthorn make them the favourites.

In conclusion, considering Richmond’s current form, historical advantage, and Hawthorn’s less than stellar performance at the MCG, it’s reasonable to predict a win for Richmond. A final score of 90-73 in favour of Richmond given their recent performances seems like a more than likely margin.

Betting Tip: Richmond Tigers @1.33

Suggested Bet: Tigers WINNING MARGIN 1-39

 

Carlton Blues vs West Coast Eagles

Saturday, July 22, 2023

2:10 PM @ Marvel Stadium

With Carlton Blues on a winning streak and West Coast Eagles on a record losing streak, the upcoming AFL game at Marvel Stadium is set to be a thrilling encounter. Carlton, having claimed their fourth consecutive victory against Port Adelaide, is showing an impressive form. Their scoring average has shot up to 113.0 points during this streak, a significant increase from their initial 72.3 points in the first 13 matches of 2023.

Key players like Jack Silvagni and Jesse Motlop have been instrumental in Carlton’s recent victories, with Silvagni contributing 19 disposals, 11 score involvements, and four goals in the last game. On the other hand, West Coast’s performance has been less than stellar, with a club-record losing streak of 15 matches. Their recent record on the road also doesn’t bode well for them, with an average losing margin of 122.5 points in their last four interstate matches.

Given these factors, it’s reasonable to predict a Carlton victory in the upcoming game. Their previous encounter with the Eagles resulted in a resounding 152-44 win, with Charlie Curnow scoring nine goals. Therefore, a similar outcome can be expected this time around, with a possible final score of 124-48 in favour of Carlton.

Betting Tip: Carlton Blues @1.02

Suggested Bet: Blues LINE (-65.5)

 

Brisbane Lions vs Geelong Cats

Saturday, July 22, 2023

4:35  PM @ The Gabba

The Brisbane Lions are set to roar in their upcoming AFL match against the Geelong Cats. Despite the Cats’ recent ruthless performance against Essendon, the Lions are ready to turn the tables. The Gabba, Brisbane’s home ground, has been a fortress for the Lions, boasting an impressive 8-0 record this season. This, coupled with their nine-match winning streak at the Gabba, sets the stage for a thrilling victory.

The Lions’ recent stumble against Melbourne, where they lost by a single point, will only fuel their determination to bounce back. Joe Daniher, who shone in that match with 24 disposals and two goals, is expected to be a key player. The Lions’ interstate record may be underwhelming, but their home ground advantage cannot be underestimated.

Geelong’s last encounter with Brisbane ended in a resounding victory for the Cats. However, the Lions have grown since then, and their home ground advantage will be a significant factor in this match. Expect a good contest, with the Lions claiming victory with a score of 96-79.

Betting Tip: Brisbane Lions @1.46

Suggested Bet: Lions WINNING MARGIN 1-39

 

Fremantle Dockers vs Sydney Swans

Saturday, July 22, 2023

7:40 PM @ Optus Stadium

Despite Fremantle’s home advantage at Optus Stadium, Sydney’s recent form suggests they have the edge. The Swans have shown resilience, avoiding defeat in three of their last four matches. Their narrow victory over the Bulldogs last round is a testament to their fighting spirit.

On the other hand, Fremantle’s recent form has been less than stellar, losing five of their last six matches. Their struggle to gain momentum, coupled with Sydney’s tenacity, makes the Swans the favourites in this encounter. The return of Caleb Serong could boost the Dockers, but Sydney’s overall performance might overshadow his impact.

Taking into account the recent performances and the fighting spirit of the Swans, I predict a victory for Sydney with a final score of 83-77. This game is sure to be a nail-biter, with both teams eager to climb up the ladder.

Betting Tip: Sydney Swans @1.96

Suggested Bet: Swans WINNING MARGIN 1-39

 

Port Adelaide Power vs Collingwood Magpies

Saturday, July 8, 2023

7:40 PM @ Adelaide Oval

After a thorough analysis of the upcoming AFL game between Port Adelaide Power and Collingwood Magpies, it’s clear that we’re in for an incredibly tough match. Despite their recent loss to Carlton, Port Adelaide’s impressive 13-match winning streak cannot be overlooked. The Power’s resilience and ability to bounce back will be crucial in this encounter.

On the other hand, Collingwood’s form this season is more than commendable, with a 15-2 record and a convincing win over Fremantle. However, their dominance at the Adelaide Oval, winning their last seven matches, will be tested against a determined Port Adelaide side.

The key to Port Adelaide’s victory will be their ability to contain Collingwood’s Nick Daicos, who has been in stellar form. If they can limit his influence on the game, the Power have a strong chance of securing a win.

In conclusion, this match promises to be a thrilling contest. However, with Port Adelaide’s determination to bounce back from their recent loss and their home ground advantage, I predict a victory for the Power with a final score of 91-80.

Betting Tip: Port Adelaide @2.02

Suggested Bet: Power WINNING MARGIN 1-39

 

GWS Giants vs Gold Coast Suns

Sunday, July 23, 2023

1:10 PM @ Manuka Oval

The Giants, currently on a five-match winning streak, are poised to break into the top eight with a victory. Their last triumph over Adelaide, led by Toby Greene’s stellar performance, has only boosted their momentum.

On the other hand, the Suns, despite their recent victory over St Kilda, have a less impressive record when playing away from their home grounds. Their performance in away games stands at a meagre 2-6, a stark contrast to their 6-3 record at home or in Darwin.

Historically, the Giants have had the upper hand in this matchup, with ten wins in their last eleven meetings. Their most recent encounter in Round 3, 2022, saw the Giants triumph 83-57. Moreover, GWS has consistently won the first quarter in their last seven matches against the Suns, setting the tone for the rest of the game.

However, the Giants’ recent games have been closely contested, with their last three matches decided by a margin of 15 points or less. This suggests that while the Giants are favourites, the Suns are not to be underestimated.

Given these factors, it’s reasonable to predict a tight game, with the Giants edging out the Suns. A final score of 82-80 in favour of GWS seems plausible, reflecting the competitive nature of the match while acknowledging the Giants’ superior form and historical dominance.

Betting Tip: GWS Giants @1.53

Suggested Bet: Giants WINNING MARGIN 1-39

 

Melbourne Demons vs Adelaide Crows

Sunday, July 23, 2023

3:20 PM @ MCG

With a stellar 9-1 record in Melbourne this season, the Demons are set to give a tough fight to the Adelaide Crows at the MCG this Sunday. The Demons’ recent heart-stopping victory over Brisbane, where they overturned a 24-point deficit in the final quarter, is a testament to their tenacity. Key players like Jake Melksham, Max Gawn, and Christian Petracca have been delivering exceptional performances, making the team a formidable force.

On the other hand, Adelaide’s track record outside of South Australia is less than impressive, with a 1-6 record. Their recent loss to GWS at home further casts a shadow on their prospects. Moreover, the Demons had previously defeated Adelaide at the Adelaide Oval, led by Petracca’s outstanding performance.

Given these factors, it’s reasonable to predict a victory for Melbourne over Adelaide, with a final score of 94-72. This match is set to be another feather in the cap for the Demons, further solidifying their top-four position.

Betting Tip: Melbourne Demons @1.36

Suggested Bet: Demons WINNING MARGIN 1-39

 

St Kilda Saints vs North Melbourne Kangaroos

Sunday, July 23, 2023

4:40 PM @ Marvel Stadium

Despite recent setbacks, the Saints have a golden opportunity to regain their footing against a struggling Kangaroos side. The Kangaroos have been on a losing streak, with their last three defeats averaging a margin of 58.7 points. This is a stark contrast to the Saints’ performance when they last met in Round 8, where they emerged victorious with a 64-34 scoreline.

St Kilda’s recent scoring average may be lower than their season’s start, but they’re facing a team that has conceded an average of 105.3 points per match this season. This could be the turning point the Saints need to reignite their attacking prowess. The Saints’ Jack Higgins, with his impressive 16-disposal, eight-score-involvement, two-goal performance in their last encounter, is likely to be a key player in this match.

In conclusion, St Kilda Saints are set to secure a win against North Melbourne Kangaroos, with a predicted score of 91-64. This match could be the catalyst for the Saints to reclaim their early season form and solidify their position in the top eight.

Betting Tip: St Kilda Saints @1.19

Suggested Bet: Saints WINNING MARGIN 1-39
