Preview:

A second consecutive win this week could move the Bombers back inside the eight for the first time since Round 5.

Essendon’s controversial six-point victory over GWS has the Dons equal on points with Port Adelaide, and they’ll now hope for some revenge on their loss to the Swans back in Round 8 at the SCG.

The Swans have put together a tidy three-game winning streak, albeit in three straight home games.

John Longmire’s side travels to Melbourne for their first game of the season at the MCG, and as recent history suggests, this one could be a coin flip.

The Bombers don’t stand out on the stat sheet, but the Swans sure do. Sydney has allowed the second-most inside 50’s to opponents this year, while their 2-3 record away from home also looks a little concerning.

Sydney, meanwhile, head into this game knowing they’ve won four of their last five games against the Bombers. The Swans are also 5-3 as the line underdog away from home over the last calendar year.

Perhaps the one similarity between these two sides is their lack of points. The Dons have put up 100-points or more only three times this year, while the Swans have accomplished the same feat only once.

With that in mind, it’s worth steering clear of the head-to-head market and instead back this game to be low scoring.
