Collingwood Magpies vs Brisbane Lions

Friday, August 18, 2023

7:50 PM @ Marvel Stadium

The stakes are high in the upcoming clash between Collingwood Magpies and Brisbane Lions at Marvel Stadium. Collingwood, already on the brink of securing a top-two finish, is coming off a strong win against Geelong, showcasing their resilience and teamwork. Despite the loss of Darcy Moore to injury, the Magpies have proven players like Josh Daicos and Brody Mihocek who can step up to the plate.

On the other hand, Brisbane’s record away from the Gabba is less impressive, standing at 5-6. While they did defeat Collingwood at the Gabba earlier this season, replicating that success on the road will be a significant challenge.

Considering the current form, home advantage, and the determination to secure a home qualifying final, Collingwood seems likely to edge out Brisbane in an extremely tight match. The final score prediction is in favour of Collingwood, winning by the narrowest of margins, 83-82. The game promises to be a nail-biter, reflecting the intensity and passion of both teams.

Betting Tip: Collingwood @ $1.70

Suggested Bet: Magpies by 1-39 @ $2.30

 

Richmond Tigers vs North Melbourne Kangaroos

Saturday, August 19, 2023

1:45 PM @ MCG

With Trent Cotchin donning the Tigers jumper for the last time, emotions will be running high. Richmond’s recent loss to St Kilda has left them hungry for redemption, and they will be eager to end the season on a high note.

On the other hand, North Melbourne’s losing streak of 19 matches, despite the valiant efforts of players like Luke Davies-Uniacke and Nick Larkey, paints a grim picture. Their latest defeat to Essendon and the historical context of their losing streak since 1933 adds to the pressure.

However, it’s worth noting that North Melbourne did manage to shock the Tigers in Round 18, 2022, with a close 92-88 victory. But considering Richmond’s determination to honour Cotchin’s farewell and North Melbourne’s current form, the scales tip in favour of the Tigers.

The match is set to be a memorable one, with Richmond beating North Melbourne with a score of 104-74. The Tigers’ experience and motivation, coupled with North Melbourne’s ongoing struggles, make this prediction reasonable. Richmond fans can look forward to a fitting farewell for Cotchin and a solid finish to the season.

Betting Tip: Richmond @ $1.25

Suggested Bet: Tigers by 1-39 @ $2.20

 

Gold Coast Suns vs Carlton Blues

Saturday, August 19, 2023

2:10 PM @ Heritage Bank Stadium

With Carlton’s impressive winning streak of eight matches and their recent victory over Melbourne, the momentum is clearly in their favour. The Blues’ performance, led by George Hewett and Patrick Cripps, has been nothing short of remarkable.

On the other hand, Gold Coast’s poor away record of 2-9 this season, including a significant loss to Carlton in Round 14, casts a shadow over their chances. Considering these factors, it’s reasonable to predict that Carlton will emerge victorious against Gold Coast with a close score of 80-77 at Heritage Bank Stadium on Saturday.

This match promises to showcase skill and determination, with Carlton’s drive to secure their first finals appearance since 2013 providing the edge they need to win.

Betting Tip: Carlton @ $1.60

Suggested Bet: Blues by 1-39 @ $2.20

 

 

GWS Giants vs Essendon Bombers

Saturday, August 19, 2023

4:35  PM @ Giants Stadium

With the stakes high for both GWS Giants and Essendon Bombers, the upcoming match at GIANTS Stadium promises to be a decisive battle. Despite their recent loss to Port Adelaide, the Giants have shown resilience and determination throughout the season. Essendon’s recent victory over North Melbourne, led by Nic Martin and Darcy Parish, was impressive, but their five-match losing streak outside of Victoria cannot be ignored.

In analysing the teams’ performances, the Giants’ home advantage and determination to bounce back from their recent defeat will likely fuel their drive to win. Essendon’s inconsistency when playing away from home may be their downfall.

The GWS Giants look set to beat Essendon with a score of 95-67. The Giants’ ability to regroup and Essendon’s struggles outside of Victoria will be critical factors in this outcome. Fans can expect a hard-fought and engaging match that will keep them on the edge of their seats.

Betting Tip: GWS @ $1.33

Suggested Bet: Giants by 1-39 @ $2.12

 

St Kilda Saints vs Geelong Cats

Saturday, August 19, 2023

7:25 PM @ Marvel Stadium

Geelong Cats look ready to notch another win against St Kilda Saints this weekend. The Cats have a strong track record against the Saints, winning seven out of their last eight encounters, including a decisive 110-65 victory in Round 21, 2022.

Despite a narrow loss to Collingwood last weekend, Geelong’s performance was marked by Jeremy Cameron’s impressive seven-goal feat and Patrick Dangerfield’s 26-disposal game. On the other hand, St Kilda’s recent win over Richmond, led by Jack Sinclair’s 33 disposals and Max King’s six goals, will not be enough to overcome Geelong’s momentum.

Both teams have high stakes, but Geelong’s experience and recent history against St Kilda point to a clear victory for the Cats. The final score will reflect Geelong’s determination to secure a place in the top eight, beating St Kilda 82-64.

Betting Tip: Geelong @ $1.65

Suggested Bet: Cats by 1-39 @ $2.25

 

Adelaide Crows vs Sydney Swans

Saturday, August 19, 2023

7:40 PM @ Adelaide Oval

With both teams eyeing a spot in September, the stakes are high. Adelaide’s recent loss to Brisbane was a setback, but their record at home is impressive, having won six of their last seven games by an average margin of 55.3 points.

Sydney, on the other hand, is on a five-match winning streak, but their last victory over Adelaide at the SCG may not translate to success at the Adelaide Oval.

Considering the Crows’ strong performance at home and the need to bounce back from their interstate defeat streak, they are poised to win this match.

The Swans will undoubtedly challenge them, but Adelaide’s home advantage and determination to secure a place in the finals will drive them to victory. Expect a hard-fought match, with Adelaide beating Sydney with a final score of 98-81.

Betting Tip: Adelaide @ $1.53

Suggested Bet: Crows by 1-39 @ $2.25

 

 

Western Bulldogs vs West Coast Eagles

Sunday, August 20, 2023

1:10 PM @ Marvel Stadium

The statistics are heavily in favour of the Western Bulldogs. West Coast’s track record shows a loss in each of its last 19 away matches, and they have lost eight of their last nine away matches by a margin of 40+ points. On the other hand, the Western Bulldogs have a strong history at Marvel Stadium, with 13 of their last 16-day matches going over the total match points line.

Despite West Coast covering the line in six of its last eight matches against the Western Bulldogs, the current form and statistics point towards a decisive victory for the Western Bulldogs. The odds are clearly in their favour, and the winning margin will likely be substantial.

The Western Bulldogs are poised to defeat West Coast Eagles with a convincing score of 117-52. Fans can look forward to a dominant performance from the Bulldogs, reflecting their superior form and home advantage.

Betting Tip: Western Bulldogs @ $1.02

Suggested Bet: Power by 1-39 @ $1.27

 

Melbourne Demons vs Hawthorn Hawks

Sunday, August 20, 2023

3:20 PM @ MCG

The statistics in the upcoming match between Melbourne Demons and Hawthorn Hawks clearly favour Melbourne. With a winning streak in six of their last seven games in Melbourne and against Hawthorn, the Demons have proven their dominance.

Melbourne’s recent home matches have also been closely contested, with margins of 15 points or less. Though Hawthorn has covered the line in five of its last six games, Melbourne’s consistent performance will likely prevail.

Considering these factors, the final score should favour Melbourne beating Hawthorn with a score of 92-74.

Betting Tip: Melbourne @ $1.25

Suggested Bet: Demons by 1-39 @ $2.15

 

Fremantle Dockers vs Port Adelaide Power

Sunday, August 20, 2023

4:40 PM @ Optus Stadium

The statistics indicate intense competition between Fremantle Dockers and Port Adelaide Power in the upcoming match. Despite Fremantle’s recent success against Port Adelaide in Perth, winning each of its last five games, there’s a strong case for Port Adelaide’s victory this time.

Port Adelaide’s performance at Optus Stadium has been consistent, with their last four matches going OVER the total match points line. This trend and their determination to break the losing streak against Fremantle set the stage for a Port Adelaide win.

The final score prediction leans in favour of Port Adelaide, with a close victory of 86-80. This match promises to showcase skill and strategy, with Port Adelaide finally overcoming their Perth hurdle. The fans can expect a game filled with passion and precision, ending in a well-deserved win for Port Adelaide.

Betting Tip: Port Adelaide @ $1.57

Suggested Bet: Power by 1-39 @ $2.20
