Carlton Blues vs Geelong Cats Preview
Big game coming up with Carlton hosting Geelong at the MCG on Saturday night.
Carlton had a big win over West Coast last round but the scoreboard probably doesn’t tell the full story of that game. The Blues were made to sweat in the second and third quarter.
Geelong were brilliant winning against Melbourne last week and look to be finishing the season off strongly.
Geelong deserve to be favourites for this game and will probably shorten in betting this week.
I’m backing an upset though. If Carlton can win the midfield battle they’re every chance of upsetting the Cats here.
Betting Update:
Really interesting game with not a lot of movement in the market suggesting punters are a bit unsure about both sides heading into this game.
Carlton are the $2.30 outsiders, they’ve shortened a touch from their $2.35 opening price.
Geelong are the favourites with Ladbrokes, they’re at $1.62. Any late betting moves will prove interesting.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Carlton Blues to win at $2.30 odds.
First Goal Scorer
First Goal Scorer: Charlie Curnow at $7.50.
