GWS Giants vs Essendon Bombers Preview
We’re going to find out where the GWS Giants are mentally at in this game. On paper it looks like they’ve checked out for the season and a 12 goal loss to the Swans last week will be hard to bounce back from.
They take on Essendon who are finishing the season off strongly now that finals are out of the picture, a very Essendon thing to do…
The Bombers have opened as favourites but they’ve hardly been a trustworthy side, especially in Sydney.
I’m backing the Giants to lift for this one, they’ll need a big game from Toby Greene though.
Betting Update:
Interesting market for this game. Essendon were well backed early this week but there’s been a late rally for the Giants.
Essendon remain the $1.75 favourites with online bookmaker Ladbrokes. GWS Giants touched $2.25 this week before being backed into $2.10.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping GWS Giants to win at $2.10 odds.
