Greater Western Sydney Giants vs Essendon Bombers Preview
The GWS Giants had an easy kill against Adelaide last week but there’s no doubt that they’ve found some form in recent week.
Essendon probably should have beaten Carlton last week and have been playing some pretty good footy.
Really tough to line these two teams up. I’ll go with the Giants at home but beware of the Bombers.
Market Update:
The Giants go into the match as favourites although punters have been happy to back both teams in this one which looks an intriguing betting game.
The Giants are at $1.46 after opening at $1.47 but did bottom out at $1.38 whilst the Bombers are back out to their opening price of $2.74 after drifting initially.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping GWS Giants to win at $1.46 odds.
