Melbourne vs. Gold Coast Predictions

Best Bet

Gold Coast –19.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

Boasting three wins from as many games is Gold Coast, who put away Geelong, West Coast, and Richmond.

Apart from the game against the Cats, they haven’t had a tough schedule. However, they haven’t been tested in any game. They have yet to win by less than 49 points, and we can’t see them not covering the –19.5 spread against Melbourne.

There has been money for the underdogs to keep it close, but class should prevail with Gold Coast, so snap up the –19.5 line before it moves late. We expect late money to come for the favourites, who should justify their odds.

Same Game Multi

Gold Coast -19.5, Ben King 3+ Goals, Ben Long 2+ Goals, Total Match Points Under 188.5 @ $7.50

Bet Now

Ben King comes off a mammoth seven-goal effort against Richmond, and he’s ready to have another big scoring night. Punters get $1.57 for King to score 3+ goals, which is enough to boost AFL same game multi bets.

Ben Long has struggled with consistency over the last few weeks, but he’s talented enough to score 2+ goals. He should turn his form around after scoring just two goals in his last two games, and we’re backing him until his best form returns.

They scored 189 points in their most recent meeting, but we don’t see Melbourne scoring a big total. Under 188.5 points is a good AFL pick this week.

Best Value Bet

Gold Coast 40+ @ $2.85

Bet Now

Our AFL predictions have Gold Coast scoring a one-sided win, and punters get a generous $2.85 from bookmakers to win by 40+ points.

Winning by big margins has become the norm for Gold Coast, which has yet to be tested. They have blown out the opposition in all three games, and we don’t think Melbourne is the team to break the cycle.

Their last meeting at the MCG was a 120-62 win to Gold Coast, and we expect a similar scoreline.
