Best Bet

Collingwood -4.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

We are concerned by the weight of money coming for Gold Coast, but Collingwood is the better team, and it should come away with the victory on the road.

The Magpies have a 14-2 record after stringing wins together, including recent wins over Carlton, St Kilda, and West Coast. They haven’t been facing the best teams in the AFL, but they scored a big win over Hawthorn five weeks ago, and that’s an excellent form guide.

Gold Coast comes off wins over Essendon and Melbourne, which isn’t a strong form guide. It’s not good enough form to warrant only a +4.5 line, and we priced Gold Coast at around +12.5. Therefore, take Collingwood to win and cover the spread comfortably.

Same Game Multi

Collingwood –4.5, Jamie Elliott 3+ Goals, Brody Mihocek 2+ Goals, Total Match Points Under 172.5 @ $14.75

Bet Now

Our goal kicking picks side with two Collingwood players, and they have every chance of dominating the game. Jamie Elliott kicked four goals last week against Carlton, and he’s one of the form goal scorers in the league.

Boasting 13 goals from his last five games, Elliott has every chance to kick 3+ goals against Gold Coast. Punters get $2.50 odds for the feat, and that’s good enough to boost AFL same game multi odds significantly.

We’re also backing Brody Mihocek 2+ goals at $1.95. He kicked two goals against Carlton and West Coast, and getting those odds are generous from bookmakers.

It’s typically a low-scoring game between Gold Coast and Collingwood, so include under 172.5 points, which has been well-backed.

Best Value Bet

Jamie Elliott First Goal Scorer @ $9.00

Bet Now

Elliott could get the game started well for Collingwood, and he’s a player who likes to get going from the outset.

He is the $9 equal favourite to score first alongside Gold Coast’s Ben Long, but with Collingwood dominating the centre bounce, Collingwood could get the first chance to score.
