Greater Western Sydney have been very tough to trust from a betting perspective this season and they have covered the line in only three of their past 11 games as home favourites for a big loss. Melbourne often produce their best performances in games like this one and they have won five of their past eight games as away underdogs for a big profit.
Essendon have a very poor record as favourites this season and they have won only two of their past five games as the punter’s elect, while they are 1-4 against the line in this scenario. Carlton are 4-3 against the line as underdogs and with a big start are a great bet to cover the line in what should be a low-scoring game.
The Cronulla Sharks have struggled as favourites at Southern Cross Group Stadium this season and they have covered the line in only two of their past 11 games as home favourites. The Canberra Raiders need to win these sort of games to keep their season alive and they are 5-1 against the line as away underdogs.
Scoring goals was not an issue for either of these last season and this looks set to be a high-scoring affair. More than 3.5 goals were scored in seven of the last ten Fulham home games last season, while backing the Over in Norwich City games last season was a highly profitable betting play.
