GWS vs. Western Bulldogs Predictions

—

Best Bet

GWS 1-39 @ $2.18

Punters get good odds for GWS to win by 1-39 points, and we can’t see either team winning by a big margin.

The Giants were awful on offence last week when losing to Adelaide, but they looked good prior with wins over St Kilda and West Coast. We expect them to bounce back to winning form against the Western Bulldogs, who would have been at shorter odds had it not been for an injury to Sam Darcy.

There might have been an overreaction with AFL odds to have them $2.47 to win, but GWS should have the advantage and win by a narrow margin at home. They are desperate to bounce back and end a two-game losing streak against the Bulldogs.

Same Game Multi

GWS H2H, Jesse Hogan 3+ Goals, Marcus Bontempelli 2+ Goals, Total Match Points Over 167.5 @ $7.50

We’re taking the shorts for GWS to win the game outright at $1.55. It’s a fair price from bookies, and it’s good enough to boost AFL same game multis.

Jesse Hogan has been electric for the Giants, and he scored two goals last week despite the team scoring just four goals. He has 23 goals from his last five games, and because his odds are slightly too short for 2+ goals, we’re backing him to score a hattrick.

Marcus Bontempelli pays $2.08 to score 2+ goals, and he comes off a two-goal game against the Saints. It was a good performance from the midfielder, who could get forward with the omission of Darcy. That should translate to 2+ goals for the superstar.

We expect more points from GWS, so we’re backing over 167.5. There should be a fire inside both teams to come out well offensively, and it could result in a big scoring performance.

Best Value Bet

Rhylee West 3+ Goals @ $7.75

Rhylee West is another player who could benefit from Darcy being out of action, and he scored three goals last week.

He has every chance of scoring three goals again, in what we’re picking to be a high scoring game. Therefore, the $7.75 odds for West 3+ goals are worth including in GWS vs Western Bulldogs picks.

We priced him around $5, so snap up the value.
