Collingwood Magpies vs Carlton Blues

Thursday, July 28, 2023

7:50 PM @ MCG

The Collingwood Magpies are set to triumph over the Carlton Blues in the upcoming AFL game, with a predicted score of 81-77. Despite Carlton’s impressive winning streak, Collingwood’s league-best defence is primed to challenge their attack. The Blues’ recent victories, although commendable, may be hampered by the absence of key players such as Sam Walsh and Jack Silvagni.

On the other hand, Collingwood is entering the game on a high, following a thrilling victory over Port Adelaide. Their performance in the last encounter with Carlton, where they emerged victorious with a score of 85-57, further bolsters their prospects. The Magpies’ home advantage, having won their last 15 home matches, cannot be overlooked.

Moreover, Collingwood’s track record of winning eight of their last nine matches against Carlton by a margin of 1-39 points, coupled with their consistent first-half victories in night matches, adds weight to their winning chances.

In conclusion, while Carlton’s recent form is admirable, Collingwood’s superior defence, home advantage, and past performance against the Blues make them the favourites for this encounter.

Betting Tip: Collingwood @1.42

Suggested Bet: Magpies WINNING MARGIN 1-39

 

Geelong Cats vs Fremantle Dockers

Saturday, July 29, 2023

1:45 PM @ GMHBA Stadium

The upcoming AFL match between Geelong Cats and Fremantle Dockers is set to be one of the best games this round. Geelong, with their impressive record of 12 wins in their last 13 matches at GMHBA Stadium, are the clear favourites. Fremantle, on the other hand, have struggled to cover the line in their last four matches, indicating a potential weakness that Geelong can exploit.

Moreover, the last five day matches between these teams at GMHBA Stadium have seen a trend of low scoring, with the total match points going under the line. However, this time around, Geelong’s superior form and home advantage could see them break this trend and rack up a high score.

Based on recent form and historical data, it’s reasonable to predict a convincing win for Geelong. A realistic final score could be 100-59 in favour of Geelong, reflecting their dominance and Fremantle’s recent struggles. This match is set to be another feather in Geelong’s cap, further solidifying their formidable reputation at GMHBA Stadium.

Betting Tip: Geelong @1.08

Suggested Bet: Cats LINE (-42.5)

 

Western Bulldogs vs GWS Giants

Saturday, July 29, 2023

1:45 PM @ Mars Stadium

The Western Bulldogs are set to take on the Greater Western Sydney Giants in an AFL match that promises to be a great game. The Bulldogs have been in scintillating form, winning their last seven day matches, a testament to their endurance and skill. They have also covered the line in six of their last seven matches at Mars Stadium, showing their comfort and dominance at this venue.

Moreover, the Bulldogs have a psychological edge, having won each of their last five matches against GWS by a margin of 1-39 points. This shows their ability to maintain a consistent lead and handle pressure situations. On the other hand, GWS’s last five matches have gone UNDER the total match points line, indicating a struggle in their offensive play.

Given these factors, it’s reasonable to predict that the Western Bulldogs will continue their winning streak. The final score could likely be 85-74 in favour of the Bulldogs. This match is set to be a showcase of the Bulldogs’ prowess and a testament to their recent form. So, gear up for an exciting game where the Western Bulldogs are expected to emerge victorious.

Betting Tip: Western Bulldogs @1.57

Suggested Bet: Bulldogs WINNING MARGIN 1-39

 

Gold Coast Suns vs Brisbane Lions

Saturday, July 29, 2023

4:35  PM @ Heritage Bank Stadium

Brisbane Lions are set to roar in the upcoming AFL game against Gold Coast Suns. The Lions have a commendable track record, winning each of their last nine matches against the Suns. This winning streak is not just a fluke, but a testament to their superior strategy and execution on the field.

Moreover, the last eight matches between these two teams have seen total match points going over the line, indicating a high-scoring game. This trend is likely to continue, with Brisbane’s strong offensive line-up ready to rack up the points.

Gold Coast, on the other hand, has struggled in recent times, failing to cover the line in their last four matches as underdogs. This, coupled with Brisbane’s impressive record of winning seven of their last eight matches against Gold Coast by a margin of 40+ points, makes it clear that Brisbane is the team to beat.

Given these factors, it’s reasonable to predict a victory for Brisbane with a score of 96-77. This match is set to be an exciting display of Brisbane’s dominance and Gold Coast’s resilience.

Betting Tip: Brisbane @1.28

Suggested Bet: Lions WINNING MARGIN 1-39

 

Essendon Bombers vs Sydney Swans

Saturday, July 29, 2023

7:25 PM @ Marvel Stadium

The upcoming AFL clash between the Sydney Swans and the Essendon Bombers is set to be a nail-biter. Despite Sydney’s recent struggles at Marvel Stadium, there’s a strong case for them to triumph over Essendon.

Sydney’s performance under the night sky at Marvel hasn’t been stellar, failing to cover the line in their last eight matches. However, they’ve shown resilience and the ability to bounce back, which could be a game-changer this time around.

Essendon, on the other hand, has had a decent run at Marvel Stadium, winning four of their last five matches. But the home team advantage might not be enough to secure a win against a determined Sydney side.

The history between these two teams also leans towards the home team, with 11 of the last 13 matches going in favour of the home side. But, Sydney is poised to break this trend and come out on top.

In terms of scoring, the match is likely to be a low-scoring affair, with seven of Essendon’s last eight night matches going under the total match points line. This could work in Sydney’s favour, as they could edge out Essendon in a tight, defensive game.

So, despite the odds, Sydney is set to clinch a victory in a closely contested match. The final score? A thrilling 86-85 win for the Sydney Swans. This game is set to be a testament to Sydney’s grit and determination, proving that past performance isn’t always an indicator of future results.

Betting Tip: Sydney @1.82

Suggested Bet: Swans WINNING MARGIN 1-39

 

Adelaide Crows vs Port Adelaide Power

Saturday, July 29, 2023

7:40 PM @ Adelaide Oval

With a winning streak of 10 matches as favourites, Port Adelaide is poised to continue their dominance in the upcoming AFL game against Adelaide Crows. Adelaide’s record of covering the line against top-four opponents is impressive, but it’s Port Adelaide’s consistency that gives them the edge.

Adelaide’s first-half victories at the Adelaide Oval are noteworthy, but Port Adelaide’s overall performance cannot be overlooked. The last eight matches at the Oval have seen high-scoring games, and this one promises to be no different.

Given the recent form and statistics, Port Adelaide is likely to emerge victorious with a score of 97-87. This match is set to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams bringing their A-game to the field. The anticipation is high, and the fans are in for a treat.

Remember, in AFL, it’s not just about the start, but also about maintaining the lead and finishing strong. And that’s where Port Adelaide excels. So, gear up for an exciting match where skill, strategy, and stamina will decide the winner.

Betting Tip: Port Adelaide @1.40

Suggested Bet: Crows LINE (+17.5)

 

Hawthorn Hawks vs St Kilda Saints

Sunday, July 30, 2023

1:10 PM @ Marvel Stadium

Despite St Kilda’s recent struggles, there’s a strong belief that they can turn the tide against Hawthorn. Yes, they’ve lost their last six matches following a win, and they’ve consistently failed to cover the line. However, let’s not forget that every game is a new opportunity, a fresh start.

St Kilda’s recent matches have been low-scoring affairs, with each of their last five games going under the total match points line. This could be a sign that they’re focusing more on their defence, a strategy that could pay off against Hawthorn.

The Saints have also been slow starters, losing the first half in each of their last seven matches. But this doesn’t mean they can’t come back stronger in the second half. In fact, it’s in these challenging moments that teams often find their true strength.

So, let’s not write off St Kilda just yet. They have the potential to surprise us all and snatch a victory from Hawthorn. A close game is expected, with a final score of 74-69 in favour of St Kilda. It’s time for the Saints to break their losing streak and show what they’re truly capable of.

Betting Tip: St Kilda @1.73

Suggested Bet: Saints HEAD-to-HEAD

 

Richmond Tigers vs Melbourne Demons

Sunday, July 30, 2023

3:20 PM @ MCG

The Demons have a stellar track record, winning 10 out of their last 11 matches in Melbourne. This impressive streak, coupled with their home ground advantage, sets the stage for another triumph.

Richmond, while having covered the line in seven of their last eight matches against Melbourne, will face a formidable opponent in the Demons. The recent matches between these two teams have been closely contested, with five of Melbourne’s last six matches decided by a margin of 15 points or less.

Given these factors, it’s reasonable to predict a Melbourne victory with a final score of 85-74. This score aligns with the trend of matches between these teams going under the total match points line.

While Richmond Tigers have shown resilience in their previous encounters with Melbourne, the Demons’ current form and home ground advantage make them the favourites to win this match.

Betting Tip: Melbourne @1.48

Suggested Bet: Demons WINNING MARGIN 1-39

 

West Coast Eagles vs North Melbourne Kangaroos

Sunday, July 30, 2023

4:40 PM @ Optus Stadium

Its the battle of the wooden spooners and someone is about to break their losing streak! West Coast have had one crazy year of injuries and we can’t help but think that the Roos are going to pop another win on the board. The Kangaroos have shown resilience in their past games, and it’s only a matter of time before they break their losing streak.

The Kangaroos have been working tirelessly on their game plan, focusing on their strengths and addressing their weaknesses. They’ve been analysing their past matches against the Eagles, learning from their mistakes and strategising on how to counter the Eagles’ tactics.

The Kangaroos are expected to come out strong, aiming to control the game from the onset. Their forward line has been showing promising signs, and if they can capitalise on their opportunities, they could outscore the Eagles.

On the other hand, the Eagles have been inconsistent in their performances. They’ve shown vulnerability, especially in their interstate matches, which the Kangaroos can exploit.

This match is set to be a close one, but the Kangaroos are expected to edge out the Eagles. The final score prediction is in favour of North Melbourne, with a scoreline of 96-86. This match could be the turning point for the Kangaroos, marking the end of their losing streak.

Betting Tip: North Melbourne @1.77

Suggested Bet: Kangaroos WINNING MARGIN 1-39
