Hawthorn Hawks vs Essendon Bombers Odds
Hawthorn Hawks vs Essendon Bombers Preview
Hawthorn vs Essendon would typically draw a big crowd but with this game being played at Adelaide Oval it’ll take a lot of the ferociousness out of this rivalry.
Both sides seemed destined to miss finals but if the Bombers are any chance this is a game they simply must win.
The Hawks have played some decent footy recently and they have a history for getting themselves up for games like this.
I’m tipping the Hawks to snatch the win here.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Hawthorn to win at $2.00 odds.
