Richmond vs. Gold Coast Predictions

Best Bet

Gold Coast –34.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

Gold Coast hasn’t broken a sweat in posting wins over Geelong and West Coast, and another easy game is on the horizon against Richmond.

The Tigers only narrowly lost to Carlton last week, so that was a step in the right direction, but it was still an all too familiar loss. They have become the status quo for Richmond, which will do well to drag itself away from the bottom of the table.

Gold Coast’s margin of victory could have been much bigger last week, but it took the foot off the gas. They still won handsomely by 59 points, and although Richmond has more fight in them than West Coast, it could be a similar score.

Our AFL predictions have Gold Coast winning by 40+, so take the –34.5 line.

Same Game Multi

Gold Coast -34.5, Ben King 3+ Goals, Ben Long 2+ Goals, Total Match Points Over 186.5 @ $7.75

Bet Now

Our AFL same game multi picks include the short odds for Ben King to kick three goals. The option pays only $1.41, but King kicked five goals last week, and he has nine goals for the season already. It should be a good multi bet booster.

Punters get better odds for Ben Long to kick 2+ goals. He has had a slow start to the year with just three goals, but it’s only a matter of time before he finds his flow, and the $1.91 odds are too good to turn down.

Given how easily Gold Coast is scoring, over 186.5 points is worth including in AFL multi picks this week.

Best Value Bet

Ben Long First Goal Scorer @ $13.00

Bet Now

This is an important game for Long, and he should want to get into the action early for Gold Coast.

Held to just one goal last week, Long hasn’t been at his best, and although there are many goal kickers for the SUNS, he shouldn’t be left out of the action.

Our AFL predictions have Long making a surging run before kicking a goal on the run, and that will see his confidence skyrocket. The $13 odds are too generous to turn down, so include Long as a value bet.
