Western Bulldogs vs Essendon Bombers Preview
Western Bulldogs and the Essendon Bombers will go head to head at Marvel Stadium on Sunday and it looks like a very important game for both teams.
The Bulldogs were very disappointing losing to Adelaide in Ballarat last round.
Essendon are yet to play against Collingwood at the time of writing this so the odds for this game could change dramatically depending on that result.
I’d be reluctant betting on either side given their current form. The Bulldogs should win but at $1.38 – leave me out.
Betting Update:
Punters are clearly wary about the form of both sides in this game with little movement in the market this week.
The Bulldogs opened at $1.38 with Ladbrokes and that’s where they remain. The same goes for Essendon who sit at $3.05.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Western Bulldogs to win at $1.38 odds.
First Goal Scorer
First Goal Scorer: Aaron Naughton at $8.00.
