Collingwood Magpies vs Western Bulldogs Preview
Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs will headline the Friday night timeslot in round 1 this year and it’s shaping up to be the match of the round with little separating the two sides.
Both teams are tipped to be top 8 sides this year so a win here would get their season off to a good start.
It’s been a far from ideal off-season for Collingwood though so I’m backing the Bulldogs to win here.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Western Bulldogs to win at $1.69 odds.
