Richmond Tigers vs Essendon Bombers Odds
Richmond Tigers vs Essendon Bombers Preview
Richmond are back in form and inside the top 8 after a good win over Hawthorn last round.
Essendon on the other hand sit near the bottom of the ladder and are struggling in all aspects.
Essendon are going to upset teams this year but you’d be brave to back them.
Richmond at the MCG are always a tough team to beat, they should be winning this game.
Betting Update:
It’s been another roller coaster week for Essendon and supporters will be looking for a response after a pitiful performance last week.
They’re clearly not confident though with all the money this week being for Richmond.
The Tigers opened at $1.35, they’re into $1.28 and continue to shorten. Essendon are out to $3.75.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Richmond Tigers to win at $1.28 odds.
