Geelong Cats vs Brisbane Lions Preview
Geelong will head into Friday night’s preliminary final as the clear favourites in betting.
The Cats have been the best team in the competition over the length of the season but if they can’t win this game it’ll be another failed season for them.
The Lions got off to a shaky start against Melbourne last week but once they found their mojo they proved too good for the reigning premiers.
Geelong is going to be a tough opponent for them to overcome but last week’s result will give them plenty of confidence.
Hopefully this game delivers the goiod. I’m backing Geelong to win by 4 goals.
Betting Update:
The Cats have been heavily backed all week and they will go into the match as the short priced favourites with Ladbrokes at $1.28 after opening at $1.30.
The Lions have continued to drift with the money for the Cats and punters can get good odds of $3.75 for them to make the AFL Grand Final next weekend.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Geelong Cats to win at $1.28 odds.
