Richmond Tigers vs Western Bulldogs Preview
The Western Bulldogs continue to shorten in premiership betting markets and they get a good chance to once again prove they’re a serious threat when they take on Richmond on Friday night.
The Tigers haven’t been at their brilliant best in recent weeks and head into this game as clear outsiders.
It could be the longest odds we see for Richmond all season but I still can’t tip against the Bulldogs at the moment.
Market Update:
The Bulldogs go into the blockbuster Friday night match as the heavily backed favourites with punters keen to back the in form side late in betting. The Bulldogs opened at $1.50 and got out to $1.55 but are now back into $1.52 and could start shorter if the money continues t come for them.
The Tigers had good early support when they opened at $2.60 but have drifted slightly today from $2.47 out to their current price of $2.53.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Western Bulldogs to win at $1.52 odds.
First Goal Scorer
First Goal Scorer: Jack Riewoldt at $8.00.
