Essendon Bombers vs Western Bulldogs Preview
The first of Saturday’s AFL matches is the game between the Essendon Bombers and the Western Bulldogs at Metricon Stadium.
The Bombers go into the game as slight favourites in early betting although bookies have it being a very tight game between two teams who continue to surprise this season.
The Bomber have won their last two games including a solid win over the Magpies whilst the Bulldogs were looking good before losing to Carlton on the weekend.
We are going to go with a bit of value here and put the Bulldogs on top to win despite their poor performance on the weekend but it should be a close one.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Western Bulldogs to win at $1.65 odds.
