Sydney Swans vs Essendon Bombers Preview
Whats going on with the Swans? Two games in a row at the SCG they’ve lost now.
Brisbane are a quality team so a loss to them is no great shock but Gold Coast beating them last week did come as a surprise.
The good news for them is they’re back at the SCG and taking on a side they typically beat every time they meet at the ground.
Essendon had a good win over the Hawks last round but will need to be at their best to upset the Swans.
I can’t see it happening. Sydney should be winning this one.
Betting Update:
Sydney aren’t playing good footy at the moment but punters clearly don’t want to back against them at the SCG.
The Swans opened at $1.33, they’ve firmed to $1.30 and will start as the clear favourites in betting.
Essendon don’t have a good record at the SCG and punters know it, they’re out to $3.50 with Ladbrokes.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Sydney Swans to win at $1.30 odds.
