Richmond will be out to cement their place at the top of the AFL ladder when they take on the Dockers at the MCG. Fremantle were able to surprise the Premiers last season when David Mundy kicked a goal after the siren to win the corresponding match. Fremantle are coming off a tough loss to the Eagles in the Western Derby, while the Tigers are in red-hot form. Nate Fyfe has continued his good start to the season, but he’ll be up against at the MCG. Richmond have been in electric form and I’m backing them to record a comfortable win.
The match of the round will see the Dragons come up against the title-holders at home. The Dragons have had an electric start to the season, thanks to the acquisition of former Bronco Ben Hunt. Hunt has offered the Dragons some stability in the halves and his outside backs are reaping the benefits. Melbourne returned to form last weekend with a victory last round, but the home-crowd gives the Dragons the edge in what will be a tight affair. The Dragons will continue their good start to the season and edge the Storm at home.
Best Dark Horse Bets
Chelsea have been able to continue their good form but will face a tough assignment against the Champions League finalist. The Blues will be needing a win to keep their chances of a top-four finish alive. Liverpool have won their last two visits to Stamford Bridge and Mo Salah will be looking to continue his electric goalscoring form. It’s difficult to separate these sides and I’m happy to back the draw on this occasion.
The defending champs are struggling, or confidence and Mumbai will need a win if they want to be able to have the opportunity to make the IPL Finals. The Knight Riders have Aussie superstar Chris Lynn opening the batting and the Knight Riders will be good enough to clinch their third consecutive win from as many starts.
