Melbourne Demons vs Sydney Swans Odds
Melbourne Demons vs Sydney Swans Preview
It took Melbourne 4 quarters to put the Kangaroos away last week but they did the job and now sit undefeated and top of the ladder after 7 rounds.
I’m surprised to see them at such short odds in this game though. The Swans have been playing some really good footy and currently sit 5-2 for the season.
At the MCG I’ll tip Melbourne but won’t touch their short odds with a 10 foot pole.
Market Update:
The Demons go into the game as the short priced favourites but they have been relatively easy in the betting drifting out from their opening price of $1.21 to their current quote of $1.29.
The Swans have been well backed at the big odds and have shortened into $3.63 from their opening price of $4.45.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Melbourne Demons to win at $1.29 odds.
