Western Bulldogs v GWS |
 |
The Western Bulldogs have won three in a row at home against GWS and they have gone 5-1 in their last six home fixtures against the Giants. GWS have gone 2-8 as the away underdog over the last twelve months. They did beat Essendon at home last week but over the last twelve months the Giants have gone 2-6 both in the head-to-head and the line on the back of a win. GWS have also lost four consecutive away games and they have yet to beat a team ranked higher than 13th this season. I would back the Western Bulldogs in the head-to-head at 1.17 (Unibet).

Adelaide vs. North Melbourne |
 |
North Melbourne have lost 11 straight away games and they have lost their last seven away fixtures against Adelaide. North Melbourne also have a miserable 2-9 record at the line away from home over the last twelve months. Adelaide bring a two-game winning streak into this clash and they have covered the line in their last four fixtures. I would back Adelaide in the head-to-head at 1.16 (PlayUp).
 |
Gold Coast vs. Geelong |
 |
Gold Coast have lost five in a row to Geelong. Going back further, the Suns have lost 11 of their last games 13 against the Cats. Geelong have won 11 games in a row coming into this clash and they have gone 5-2 as the away favourite over the last twelve months. Gold Coast bring 2-5 form into this clash and their finals hopes ended with a defeat to Hawthorn last week. I would back Geelong in the head-to-head at 1.33 (PlayUp).
 |
Melbourne vs. Carlton |
 |
Bookmakers have a good track record of predicting this fixture. Since 2013 Melbourne have gone 6-2 as the favourite against Carlton and 1-6 as the underdog. Melbourne have won six in a row against Carlton and the Demons have gone 19-6 as the favourite over the last twelve months. Carlton have gone 2-4 as the underdog over the last twelve games and they limp into this fixture having lost three of their last four games. I would back Melbourne in the head-to-head at 1.32 (PlayUp).
 |
Richmond vs. Hawthorn |
 |
This is another fixture that bookmakers have a good track record of predicting. Since 2013 Richmond have gone 6-1 as the favourite against Hawthorn and 1-1-5 as the home underdog. Richmond have gone 6-1-0 as the home favourite over the last twelve months and they boast an incredible 9-2 home line record over the same period. Hawthorn have gone 1-7 as the away underdog over the last twelve months and they have failed to cover the line in 5 of the last 7 games against Richmond as the underdog. All 10 of Richmond’s 11 wins over the last twelve months were by 1-39 points and 6 of Hawthorn’s 8 away defeats were by the same margin. Five of Richmond’s last seven wins over Hawthorn were by 1-39 points. I would back Richmond 1-39 at 2.20 (PlayUp).
