Best Bet

Sydney -39.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

Backing North Melbourne is always risky, and although it has played well at times, it appears their bid for an improved 2025 is all but over.

The same doesn’t go for Sydney, which didn’t start the year well, but after winning four of its last five games, a top eight spot is up for grabs over the next few weeks.

Beating teams like the Kangaroos are a much for the Swans, who come off wins over Fremantle and St Kilda. They also defeated Port Adelaide prior to losing to the Western Bulldogs, so they have had a tough recent schedule.

Playing the Kangaroos should allow them to play more freely, and it should result in a one-sided victory.

Same Game Multi

Sydney -39.5, Jake Lloyd 2+ Goals, Nick Larkey 2+ Goals, Total Match Points Under 172.5 @ $25.00

Bet Now

Sydney is a team that spreads out its scoring, so punters get $2.80 for Jake Lloyd to score 2+ goals, and that’s why the same game multi odds are so high.

Lloyd has five goals from his last two games, so he’s playing much better than he was earlier this year. We’re picking him to continue that form, and the odds are too good to turn down, especially when Nick Larkey is a $1.66 chance.

Larkey has 10 goals from his last two games, and although North Melbourne could struggle to score, Larkey should get his chances. The odds are short, but even if the Kangaroos score around 60 points, many of them should come from the forward.

Best Value Bet

Jy Simpkin 20+ Disposals @ $2.33

Bet Now

Jy Simpkin will be kept busy for the Kangaroos, and considering he had 21 disposals last week against Melbourne, he could rack up a big total again.

The Kangaroos will see a lot of ball in their own 50, and Simpkin will be tasked to clear the ball and get them out of trouble. Therefore, take the $2.33 odds as the best value bet for this game.
