Best Bet

Western Bulldogs @ $1.90

Bet Now

We have been impressed by the Bulldogs after two rounds, including wins over Brisbane and GWS. They aren’t easy teams to handle, and they gave GWS no chance with a 135-53 victory last week.

There is also upside with Adelaide, which scored a win over Collingwood last week, but the Magpies didn’t offer much, so the win might have looked better than it was. That’s the worry when taking the $1.94 for Adelaide, which could drift throughout the week.

A fast start is likely for the Bulldogs, with Adelaide’s last 12 Friday opponents being first to five goals. If the Bulldogs start well, they’re not a team that is easily run down. We have them taking a first quarter lead before building on that throughout the week.

Our AFL predictions have the Western Bulldogs winning by double digits, so snap up the early odds.

Same Game Multi

Western Bulldog H2H, Tom Liberatore 25+ Disposals, Marcus Bontempelli 2+ Goals, Total Match Points Under 190.5 @ $8.75

Bet Now

Tom Liberatore comes off three consecutive games with 25+ disposals, so we’re including the $1.67 odds in our AFL same game multi. He had 29 last week against GWS, and he should have another busy game against Adelaide.

Marcus Bontempelli brings plenty of experience to the table for the Bulldogs, and the $1.93 odds for 2+ goals is an excellent price. His last four games have yielded 10 goals, so he’s an excellent multi bet addition.

Under 190.5 points is worth including as we project Adelaide scoring under 90 points.

Best Value Bet

Western Bulldogs Halftime/Fulltime @ $2.30

Bet Now

Our AFL predictions have the Bulldogs leading from the outset, and the $2.30 odds are worth taking before they shorten.

Getting off to fast starts is what the Bulldogs are about, and they used a fast start to give GWS no chance of winning last week.

Adelaide plays well against the Bulldogs, but the 2026 version of this team is different, and they could score a statement road win.
