North Melbourne Kangaroos host Richmond Tigers in Round 6 of the 2026 AFL season at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Read on for our full match preview, betting tips, and best odds.
North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Richmond Tigers Match Prediction
Now that Essendon has returned to the winner’s stall for the first time since Nate Caddy was born, Richmond is running the longest winless streak of any club in the AFL – Round 20 vs WCE last year.
The market certainly doesn’t suggest that run will be broken this Sunday when they take on North Melbourne as $3.50 outsiders.
Josh Gibcus (soreness), Samson Ryan (suspension) and Hugo Ralphsmith (knee) are available for selection if required.
North was brought back to earth with a 26-point loss to the back-to-back premiers, but they’ll be buoyed by the ongoing strong form of Harry Sheezel (30 disposals) and Luke Davie-Uniacke (27 & 8 tackles).
Amazingly, Cameron Zurhaar has been the first goalscorer in four of his last five appearances against Richmond.
