Western Bulldogs take on Carlton at Marvel Stadium this Sunday, 16th August at 3:15 PM AEST. Here’s everything you need to know before you bet.
We should have a packed house under the lid at Marvel on Sunday for this 9th vs 10th blockbuster.
The Dogs were underwhelming and resembled everything but a finals team in last week’s 23-point defeat to North Melbourne, while the Blues put St Kilda to the sword nice and early in a 44-point demolition job.
Injuries are again the storyline at the kennel with Tim English suffering a knee injury last week, which doesn’t bode well against a Blues team that has been one of the best at controlling possession and limiting turnover.
Those two improvements under Josh Fraser have made a massive difference when it comes to ball movement and increasing scoring chances, and given the Dogs forward line has been misfiring for weeks, this shapes as a very tough test.
Prediction: Carlton to Win @ $1.72
Value: Carlton 1-39 @ $2.30
