Melbourne Demons vs Sydney Swans Preview
Melbourne seem to have found form at the right time of year and they’ll head into Saturday’s qualifying final against Sydney as the clear favourites in the market.
Melbourne really demolished Brisbane in the final round of the season and set themselves up for a home final here.
Sydney will no doubt back themselves in here and so they should. On their day they are more than capable of upsetting Melbourne as we saw earlier this season when they upset Melbourne at the MCG.
Still backing the Dees to win here, they seem to be hitting their straps at the right time. Think they’ll win by 4 goals.
Betting Update:
There hasn’t been a lot of movement in the market for this game with punters happy to back both sides.
Melbourne remain the favourites at $1.46 with Ladbrokes while Sydney are the $2.75 outsiders. Whether we see any late moves will be interesting.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Melbourne Demons to win at $1.46 odds.
