West Coast Eagles vs Collingwood Magpies Preview
West Coast and Collingwood both lost games they were expected to win last week so it’s fair to say that there’s a fair bit on the line here.
A loss for either side will really increase the pressure.
I can’t see myself tipping against West Coast at home all season but Collingwood do love to travel.
I’ll stick with the Eagles but won’t be taking them at their current quote.
Market Update:
The Eagles go into the match as the pretty short priced favourites and they are the team that punters want to be on backing them from $1.36 into their current quote of $1.35 after touching $1.39 on Thursday.
The Magpies had some support in early betting but have been easing ever since and are now out to $3.25 after opening at $3.16.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping West Coast Eagles to win at $1.35 odds.
First Goal Scorer
First Goal Scorer: Josh J. Kennedy at $7.50.
