West Coast Eagles vs Melbourne Demons Preview
I’d hate to imagine how West Coast supporters are feeling this season. Their loss to Collingwood last week was awful, but very predictable.
this week they’re back at Optus Stadium taking on one of the best teams in the league in Melbourne and the Eagles are somehow a chance of winning.
They’re a different team in Perth and although I have to stick with Melbourne here an upset would come as no surprise.
Market Update: There’s been money for both West Coast and Melbourne this week but the Demons remain the clear favourites in betting.
Melbourne opened at $1.40 and got as low as $1.35 before drifting back out to $1.41. West Coast touched $3.25 before being backed into $2.93.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Melbourne Demons to win at $1.41 odds.
